I explore a lot of forest/gravel and back roads, do a bit of camping, photography and chase geocaches. I will be doing some off road, but nothing very technical, and all of this at what some of you would consider a snails pace I'm out to explore, relax and enjoy. I will be avoiding freeways or anything over 60 as much as I can. I may need to hit some 60 MPH roads, but I'll be off them as soon as I can.

Haven't done much but ride so far. I did upgrade to Seat Concepts seat, have the suspension improved/set to me, and I've ordered the IMS 3g tank.

Now before you all get on the "do the 351" wagon, that will happen, just not this year. I want to put some miles on her this year, and do the 351 next winter.

For now I think I want to add the Q4, KDX Snorkel, and re-jet. I've asked a couple folks in PM's about some of this, but thought I'd bring it out here for all to have some input.

What will give me the most improvement without loosing my 60ish MPG?

Seems many feel just upgrading the jets can smooth things out, I'll be doing that. While I have the carb out for re-jetting, I'll drill out the starter jet, since many find that really helps the cold starts. I live in a cool wet area and will be riding between sea level and 3500' the most (I live at 600'), with stretches up to 6000'. Adding the fuel screw for times when I may need to tweak things, to just through, anything higher (should I ever visit Colorado).

Q4 slip on only or add the pipe too?

Change the air filter? If so which one? I may ride some dusty areas, but that will not be my main riding local. Maybe 3 or 4 trips over to eastern Washington and Oregon to explore some of the ghost towns and scenic dirt roads. May give parts of the WBRDRa try, we will see if I gain enough skill for that, I don't bounce like I once did

I will be adding a rack to carry camping gear, and maybe a rotopak for some added range and security. I ride solo a good bit, so I don't fancy getting stranded just past the middle of no where.

Let the virtual farkling begin, what would you do if these were your goals?

Thanks for any input,
Cindy
