I need to rejet mine, since I went with the 4-1 exhaust. Did you also went to
stock on the jets, or simply re-adjusted?

Removing the caps and adjusting is for the pilot screws, often confused with a
mixture screw, and is for idle mixture. The washer mod helps richen the main
jet via raising its needle to allow a touch more fuel relative to the air being
allowed by the throttle. It did nothing for my 650 or my 700

Richard,
The washer mod is simply putting one or two #4 washer to shim the needles on
each carb. You can get them at radio shack. It is very easy to do (but you will
need to take out or raise the tank to get to the inner carbs). Most bikes
I going out on a limb here, but doesn't the washer MOD work to improve throttle
response?
For mixture adjustment, remove the caps and adjust the screws accordingly.

What you mean? There is always bad traffic on the East Coast! No, but I
took it slow and went through the back roads. I did it previously on my
cbr1000f, which is a lot more comfy than the NH, and with short stops for
gas and drinks I did it in 9hrs, but it was though.
Ok what is the washer mod?

I have some Cortech "sport" saddle bags that work a charm on the Nighthawk.
Also, 15T front sprocket for me. Little loss on hill starts, not enough for
me to swap it back.

My must haves for the later model CB 750.
1. 16T front sprocket. Love the rpm at higher interstate speeds. No
noticeable sacrifice at low. Should come stock.
2. Handlebar risers 1". Yup, it would be nice to be able to go up
