Jetting update: Bingo!!!!
I pulled the slides out last night and added a 1/16" lift hole (which raised the area of the 3 existing lift holes (as per Dynojet installation instructions) by 13.6%) and took it out for a ride this morning. I am very happy to report that the end result is sheer perfection. There is no longer any hesitation whatsoever at any engine speed or regardless of how quickly I snap the throttle. IN short, I got exactly what I was hoping for. Mission accomplished! woohoo!!!!!!

Just got in from another ride, am up to about 800 miles on the rebuilt engine. The engine is breaking in very well (am always on-off throttle) and is noticeably zippier, responding to throttle with much more intensity. It virtually leaps ahead now, even in sixth gear with the revs down 
As well, it has smoothed out considerably. I must admit that I was a bit disappointed with the smoothness initially (had the crank assembly balanced) but everything is falling into place now. At cruising speed (55-75 mph), the engine is uncannily smooth, with no vibration.
My expectations are not only being met, but surpassed (and there is some more improvement to come yet as the miles pile on and it loosens up some more). I'm looking forward to getting it back on the dyno in a few months time to see what the change is...... I am a very happy chap

Mikstr, You're my inspiration for tearing my superhawk apart and redoing the work with the jets in it. Would you recommend that I drill the auxiliary lift hole with a 5/32 in the slide, or just leave it be and test it without the hole? I've been reading other posts where people have been happy without drilling the extra hole and just adjusting their fuel, but it seems that you've got a rip-roaring beast now.
Maybe one of these days I'll take the long haul from anchorage and roll through Canada to ride with you!

Hard to say as only trial and error will tell you. Don't forget my engine is now quite a ways from stock, a significant factor which affects its fueling needs.
I highly recommend you read Mike's (8541hawk) thread about carb set-up and use it as a good starting point.
If I (or anyone else on the site) can be of assistance along the way, just ask, you have a great bunch of folks here eager to help
cheers

So thats what was slowing me down!!! and imagine I have been lugging those brackets around on the bike without the lower for the past couple years!
Glad you like it and can't wait to see it on the bike. Will look beautiful.

Another (little) carbon fix.....
Just picked up a couple carbon reservoir brackets. I had been eyeing these before but they were ridiculously expensive ($150). Now they are heavily discounted so the time was right for another carbon fix...
I hope this gets me in for VTR of the Month......

Not really calculating it at the moment as I am finishing up the break-in (and so am always on and off the throttle). That is almost done (am now at 2500 miles on re-built lump; one more oil change and I'll consider it done), however, so I will have the data for you soon. I would expect it to be better as the higher comp. should boost efficiency, more powerful mill shouldn't work as hard at cruising speed. We'll see how it works out.....

cluster was installed using a home-made adaptor plate. As for the wiring, I used the wiring diagrams. However, I never got the tach to work (tried 2 RC51 clusters and neither worked)
