Alright! Bill sent me a new kit. It was double boxed too. A gasket got damaged when I sent him my package back and he replaced it for me. Bills a good dude. Everyones happy
Im going to start my install (hopefully finish) this Sat with the help of a friend and his shop.
My bike is currently running great with 2 bothers pipe, 128DJ main and 35pilot 3rd clip in CVK34 carb with kouba 2.5 out and no snorkel. No problems starting and normal decel popping.
Im going to start with trying the 132 main i have in the DJ stage 2 jet kit. Does anyone in SoCal or same elevation / climate have similar set up and advice?
Also where is a good source for CVK pilot jets?
Thanks guys.

That jetting change sounds about right... it might be slightly fat, but fat is better than lean.
For jets, most any local dealer.. Kawi preferably, but I believe I've gotten those pilots from a Honda dealer before too.
I'm eager to get mine and get started, but I can't order til later April.

Careful, careful, careful with those Barnett springs. A former member of this board installed them and started finding pieces of them in his oil. Further inspection revealed most of the Barnett springs had failed, or were on the verge.
He replaced them with EBC springs and has had no problem since.

I am fortunate enough to live in the same city as Bill Blue and have been to his shop on several occasions. I can tell you from personal experience he is a stand up guy and puts a lot of time and effort in getting it right. I put a 331 kit in my 300 a couple of years ago and couldn't be happier. As he stated in one of his threads he is not retiring but added to his product offering by including Honda dual sports to his line. I personally inspected his wife's Honda and if it runs as good as it looks with all the upgrades it will challenge Kawasaki as the bike to own.
As far as jetting look at your plug for a nice brown chocolate color. To dark lean it up, to light richen it up. Get your main jets from DJ and get your pilots from Kawasaki. Be extremely careful if you buy pilot jets from elsewhere because even though they look the same subtle changes in the thread pitch will cause you to strip out the threads in the carb. Then you are screwed.
