Thanks for the compliments fellas, The tail pack came from motorcyclesuperstore. its fully expandable and can be strapped in several ways and to just about anything lol. It expands upwards and outwards. At full size, I can carry 2 full rain suits, 2 20oz drinks, a rainfly, toolkit, extra shirt and pants, manual, phone, wallet, wifes cigs and purse, flashlight, can of plexus and small can of chain lube, tire pressure guage and camera. (thats the fullest i've managed to get it, it was misshapen and looked lumpy but it zipped and did fine lol. I ran one on my drz400s and had a spare for moving between my other bikes, ive had this one on my zrx1200 and my zzr1200, both bikes were easy to mount it to and it worked flawlessly on all bikes I've tried to use them on.

Pulled the carbs off today, tracked down the leak to confirm it was carb on cylinder 1, pulled float bowl and went to touch the float cage and it just fell away from the carb body lol. Replaced the o-rings and adjusted float height and reassembled and added tank, turned on fuel and as of now, the leak has stopped. Hoping to run a tank of gas through it to help clean the little areas of the carb I cant get to, and the slight hesitation when snapping the throttle open quickly will go away. No cracking or popping and once its warm it virtually goes away so I know its just a little lean, and I think the emulsion tubes are not fully opened 
Sounds like you are getting there.
Won't be long now.

Took it out for a ride to town and back about 20 miles, it ran great, it still has the little hesitation that nearly goes away once warm, but I noticed it is mainle below 3K rmm's so I have deduced it is the emulsion tubes for the pilots in need of some more cleaning, but I'mma make due till this tank of fuel and cleaner are ran through. If it hasnt settled in I'll pull the carbs again and go through the low speed circuits again. Fuel screws are 2.5 out atm, and I have some 42.5 pilots should I need them.
Glad she is running better.

Well, I took a spill on her, COming off an interstate ramp hit some kind of film and low-sided for a long slide and ended up in the bottom of a concrete V shaped ditch. Bent the heck outta the bars, my brake pedal and broke my rear turn signal. I'm just now getting recovered enough to start working on her again. So now I'm looking for parts.
I need a set of bars and a single bar end weight and screw (definitely oem, perfect reach and bend for me)
A rear blinker, and a brake pedal.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

In your other post I was hoping you just dropped the bike, hope you are doing good.

Still sore in a few places but more sore that I'm not putting miles on my tiger lol.
Sorry to hear about your get off. I am glad you were not badly injured and that your Tiger wasn't damaged any more than it was.
GRRR8!

woah! sorry to hear about your mishap, glad you weren't seriously hurt. I have heard many stories of slippery conditions on ramps from diesel fuel, oil, etc. you just never know what traction is going to be like on those things. unfortunately we can't just putt-putt through them slowly when there is traffic to deal with.
