I just made a holding jig that is mounted to the mill table, tilted the head and zeroed it all in . Did 3 of them in no time and it turned out good . Testing next and see what the difference is now . I will leave the set up on the mill , just in case I have to take off more .
So making the cut away bigger leans it off? I cant use the file , because all three need to be exactly the same . So I guess going to a number 3 from 2.5 will be the go ?
Normally all my toys have a fiber glass or Metal tank . But finally I get around to restore my 86 race bike . They only made 35 of those bikes (EML Jumbo) and therefore shrouds , side panels and tank are no longer available .They are in top shape , just dull and scratched from wear . The mud guards are Acerbis and will be replaced with new ones . I did hydro blast the tank and side panels and they are Perl white again , but not as smooth as what it was new . I used 1200 wet paper and it got much better . The question now is : Was there a sealer used from new ? Or is there a sealer available now to finish this project off?

Tony , make the spacer with a inside thread , so it can not fall off by mistake . Especially if you are in the pits or in a hurry . I have to do the same on my 998 engines to clear the valves .
You must have used the black ones Momus . I know of the downfalls on them , thats why they got replaced with the brass ones in 2009 . I am doing a new series right now with a couple of improvements .
I love the Dellortos for the chrome trolleys . They work well there because of of the pumps and many jetting options . But this is a challenge I like to ride out on OEM Mikunis if I can . There will be a way . There must be a way .
