subframe upgrade kit

With all the talk about the subframe bolts, I went ahead and ordered the
Dual-Star upgrade kit. I haven't had a chance to even look at doing the
installation but did have a question about the spacer they provide. There's
no directions other than the information on the website. Has anybody done
the installation and do you know what the spacer is for. I would probably
figure it out when I finally go to do the install but thought I'd ask.
Thanks for the help.

I ordered their subframe bolt kit also. I haven't gotten it yet, but Jeff,
(the order-taking guy), already told me that the washer/spacer is for,
(Devon will appreciate this), the LEFT lower subframe bolt. It's used to
be sure there is absolutely no chance of chain contact with the bolt
end...

I used a 30mm bolt with three washers under the head. Dunno if multiple
washers are a problem but I'll find out.
mikuni carb kit for klr650?

I'm having my bike dynoed on Wednesday I hope, with the fully stock setup, so I
can do a before/after comparison. I will try the Mikuni with a fully stock
airbox setup first, and see what I get on the dyno. I am not looking for more
horsepower, just more immediate throttle response and more low-end torque. With
the stock pipe and airbox it is highly unlikely that I will get any gains over
3000rpm, but that's OK.
My two-valve, 500CC 24-year-old SR500 has more punch down low than my KLR. And
that's just wrong.
