Plugs always looked good, also running the the jets that S&S suggested. I am thinking the loose intake happened during my last ride, because I did not notice it before. I am going to pull the carb and check the jets to make sure they are clean and check the float. Thanks for the info.

I'm guessing that you took the carb off to inspect/clean the intake seals? Moving that carb around a bit may have dislodged something in the carb and gummed up the works. Pull it apart and inspect/clean that also.
Edit: Well, I see you beat me to it by a couple of minutes.

Correct, I did remove the carb twice. Now that I recall, I did notice fuel sitting in the intake when I removed it both times, its gotta be a carb issue............... I HOPE! Thanks guys.

Ok, pulled the Carb and did not notice anything obvious. Cleaned everything inside anyway. Reinstalled everything and it fired right up. But 10 minutes later, I fired it again for the heck of it and same damn ****. Turned the gas off while it was running and it smoothed out, turned the gas back on and it ran like crap again. Is the float level off or something? This is driving me nuts! Thanks guys so far

Called S&S to see if they had any ideas. He had me spray the intake seals to see if they are leaking. I used brake clean, but no idle change. I checked the float level and its about 1/8" beolow the gasket surface as he mentioned it should. Had me look for the o-ring on the accelerator pump shaft, its there.
Can my jetting be off? I am running a 295 main and a 72 pilot as suggested by them for use with my Hooker pipes. What else can it really be? My plugs are coming out BLACK and puffing black smoke. HELP!! Thanks
