When I got my V7-Special, the jets had been "cleaned" with a
wire, which widened the jets and resulted in rich running. I had to
replace the jets. Before using a wire, I would try compressed air to
clean them. You might also try a local small engine or cycle shop for
the wire tools used for cleaning jets. The tools are properly sized and
less likely to ream the jets wider.
If I'm wrong about this advice, someone please correct me.

Jay-
prolly, your pilot [idle] jets are plugged, and the bike is running on
the mains, only. [super-rich at low rpm's]. ya can soak 'em in a small
pan of carb cleaner, and then carefully work a strand of copper wire
thru the hole to clear the crud away. 10-4 on the petcocks- saw it
happen on a yamaha 650 recently.
Donny-
ya can make your own reducers for the fishtails or order a set from
good 'ol jc whitney [they're only about $5.00 ea.] if these are h.d.
items, you'll also have to modify your centerstand- the 'ears' will hit
on the larger muffs, and your stand will be too close to the ground.

Subject: Gas in oil

Last week I put my bike up and did not turn the gas taps off. A couple
of days later I went to ride it and noticed a ton of gas had leaked out
of the carbs. I checked the oil before starting the bike and it was the
pan full of gas. So I changed the oil out. I have heard this could
happen but it seems like I use to be able to leave the gas taps on and
not have any problems.

I am also still having problems maintaining an idle and the bike seems
to bog down (engine sounds lower and very slowly accelerates - even
accelerates better when letting a little throtle off) when accelerating
past 60 mph. I have mentioned this before but I have still not taken
the carbs apart to see what is going on. I am planning on going through
them ASAP, I have the Premier Handbook should this be a good enough
guide for a first timer? What parts should I order - just the gasket
kit from mgcycle? Any other tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
