Just put the Stage 3 kit on my frankenbike and it was the easiest and best mod I've done so far. followed the instructions and had the carbs out and back in in about a hour and a half.....that even included some beer breaks. Took it for a ride today and it was great! If anyone out there is modding your airbox and exhaust and are having trouble tuning buy the dynojet kit it will save you tons of time! Best 80 bucks I've ever spent on this bike.

no they wont fit on the earlyer carbs (78-79). but i dont know if you can swap the later carbs(81-82) over to the 78-79 motor with ease or if it will need minor/sever moding. but im pretty sure somone here will chime in about that....( sorry for the hyjack)_____________________________________________ 1979 XS 1100 Special "The judge" mods- K&N air pods, 4-1 mac, 147.5 pilots, 57.5 mains, LED turn signal, cafe bars, HEL translucent yellow stainless steel brake line, dyna coil (dc2-1), raptor 660 mc, r6 controls..(sold)

You can put later carbs on early engines and vise versa. Just as long as all 4 carbs are the same.Nathan

I've got a 78 and therefore I guess...'no soupa for you!' but I am curious, what exactly is a dynojet kit and can it be replicated and/or modded?'78 E "Stormbringer"

No, I wouldn't advise trying to replicate it.
IMHO, (speaking from experience, since I've installed one on my XJ and had amazing results,) they have really done their homework on these kits.
I personally think the secret's in the needles. Compared to XJ stockers, totally different length, taper... design.
Wish I'd have found his ebay source price though! I had to give $125 for mine.
Put it in last year, and it's already paid for itself in increased mpg's, reliability, and performance gains.
The kit comes w/ different jets, needles, and a drill bit to enlarge the air hole for the slides.'82 XJ1100J Maxim (has been sold.)
