And as you Bobber folks know - the lack of a rear fender allows the back tire to throw crap onto your backside.
I had mud on my jacket, backpack and helmet.
The bike got a bath when I got home.

DragBikeMike has convinced me to change to a smaller orifice and get a bit more oil pressure.
The current orifice was made with a #56 drill that has a diameter of 0.045" and is roughly equivalent to a #120 main jet.
I made another orifice using a #57 drill that has a diameter of 0.043" and is a bit smaller than a #115 main jet (but bigger than a #115 jet).
While a change in diameter of 0.002" doesn't sound like much - the area change is noticeable. A 0.045" diameter hole has an area of 0.0016 square inches. The 0.043" diameter hole has an area of 0.0015"square inches.....the change is a 9% reduction in area.
I will make another test ride and see what affect the smaller jet has. The next size drill I have is 0.042" in diameter - which is likely another 10% reduction in area.
Using very tiny drills on a lathe with a 12" swing is a bit intimidating...it would be so easy to snap the drill if I put too much load on it. I used a high turning speed, lots of oil, made very slow advances and backed the drill out repeatedly to get more oil in the tiny hole.

A wise method of drilling jets! I've broken more than one bit doing it by hand
