You probably still need to adjust those mixture screws.
Do you know where I can find more information on this? I didn't see anything in Pat's jetting calculator. The bike idles nicely and doesn't hesitate off the line. I don't quite understand what the pilot screw does vs. the pilot jet.
Thanks!

with the bike at idle turn the screw in until that cyl. runs rough, then back out until it runs rough counting the turns. The right setting is 1/2 way between the 2 rough spots. I disconnect one plug at a time to do this so it is easier to hear when that side gets rough. You will need to turn the idle up slightly so it stays running on 1 cyl. Ground the plug wire you disconnected if you use that method. 
This chart shows when the different circuits come into play.

Looks like jetting and pipes are pretty well covered. I would say not to waste your money on that bellmouth. Just take the snorkels that are there and throw them away, drop a K&N in and move along.
I have seen absolutely no dyno evidence that our bikes go faster with a Bellmouth snorkel.

@The_Dog33 - Thanks for the diagram and the instructions. Will let you know the results.

I already had the bellmouth so I used it, but, yes, everything I have read has indicated that, in practice, it is not noticeable.

I did another 50 miles today with the epco pipes, and even with ear plugs in, they are pretty loud. I assume repacking them will quiet them down a bit? Can anyone recommend repacking material and/or a place to purchase it?
Thanks!

We could send you a repacking kit for a very nominal charge.

Thanks for the offer StainlessRide.
I should have followed up and said that we did repack the pipes, and I am very happy with the sound. I've put well over a 1,000 miles on the pipes, mostly on the highway, and they are working out great.
