Is it a DJ jet or a Mikuni? In my DJ stage 3 kit I have a 132 and a 138 but not a 130.
Remember a Dynojet jet and a Mikuni jet differ in that a Mikuni is sized by fuel flow and Dynojet by size. A 138 Dynojet main jet is comparible to a 127.5 mikuni.

With the anti-dive I'd just plug it all off. I'm sure others will disagree but in my experiences with several anti-dive front ends on Suzukis I've never noticed much difference.

Personally, I would have thought that, after owing 3 Harleys, you would finally want a quiet bike.

Actually, Harleys are quiet bikes. It's the aftermarket pipes that makes them loud.
I had the pleasure of riding with a Harley Ultra Classic this past weekend.
It had stock pipes on it, and I could barely hear it running beside my Wing. \\/
It's a wonderful sound, I just wish they wouldn't give me so much of it. 8-[

Totally agree, Steve. Face it, though, this anti-social guy says he likes loud bikes; I'm glad that's what makes him feel good. Girls wave at him, so that's what's important.

The anti-dive is crap and makes the brake lever mushy, so most riders block it off.

The best-sounding exhausts are generally the V&H -- WITH packing, please -- without packing, these things just sound shrill, tinny, loud and annoying. With proper packing, they have a lovely menacing low-pitched growl. Don't worry -- it's still much louder than stock, but most of the noise is at lower frequencies where it sounds cool, not at the higher frequencies that are just annoying.

The Mac exhausts just sound tinny and cheap, IMHO.

Joe Nardy's bike is wearing a lovely stainless Supertrapp system that looks fantastic and sounds great. I don't even want to know what it costs, though.

One more thing -- you DO NOT WANT the stock handlebars. They are instruments of the most vile satanic torture. Pure evil apehanger-ish things that subtly put your wrists and body at perfectly wrong angles for long-term riding.

Peruse the Denniskirk or CRC2 catalogs to find 7/8" bars you like. As noted, most people end up with a "Daytona" or "Superbike" bend. Straight or drag bars are generally too low.
