I wanted to add shims to my needles, I need some pictures.. I don't know if I am supposed to come in from the top or bottom of the carb.. I added D&D exhaust and a 120 Main and removed the snorkel and cut the hole bigger (about the size of the filter in diameter, stock filter) .. I want to add a shim and increase pilot jets to 42.. I will start tuning from there..

The Brit Iron Rebels site has a couple of very useful tech videos on tuning and check out the Jenks tuning notes.

The Links are below.

Just as a caution, if you change the pilots to 42's, you may not have to shim at all.
if you put a shim in, then the 42 pilots may be too rich.
just something to look out for
