No matter what the compression the G is too much carb for an 80" motor.
Hell S&S puts an E on their 111"

If you are running straight pipes you will need something for back pressure.
I recommend a lollypop.

Might be an E carb. I never looked on the side of it to see. Not sure what jets are in it now. The previous owner had this motor set up like it is now. I just added the drag pipes myself. And what's a lollypop? I'll probably end up putting a set of baffles in as well.

Lollipop" Baffles
A home-made drag pipe baffle will lessen performance problems. One way to enhance performance while not cutting too far into the sound levels of Harley drag pipes is to construct a "lollipop" pipe baffle. Instead of paying up to $80 for the part, this can be made at home for about $10. Weld a 3/4-inch washer onto the end of a 1/4-inch threaded rod or bolt and wind a nut onto it. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in each pipe about 1 inch from the end, insert the lollipop into the hole from inside the pipe, and put another nut onto the protruding end of the bolt. Set the lollipop at about 90-degrees in the pipe and tighten both nuts.

I just made some. You drill a hole about 2" from the end of the pipe on the bottom and bolt the lollipop baffles in. He is a picture, not the eye bolt.
