:plus1: It can't idle as low as a v- twin for the reasons that W.W stated.

The handbook quotes 1200 - 1400. :2tup:

I know this is an old post but Im curious as to where this project got to. and what muffler was used? and a re jet?

I'm almost positive he put on an Emgo shorty. I have one sitting in a cabinet in my garage that I had purchased dirt cheap on ebay and I was going to have installed on my GZ and it looks exactly like what he was showing in the videos. I'm guessing he had to reject the carbs to get the proper fuel/air mixture as a result of the new muffler, but he'd have to advise what he did there.
