Default Backfiring AGAIN!!!

Alright I had mybike at my buddies house for about a month or so while I was gone. Before that I had some backfiring issues after my Ape install. I took it to HD and they said it was a short in the ignition wire and it ran great after that. When it would back fire it was nasty and then it wouldnt start at all. Now it starts right up but pops like mad on acceleration through the exhaust. WHAT GIVES!? I have a mandatory MSF Course on Tuesday to be able to ride on post, I need to get this fixed. Need suggestions. Thanks guys and gals.
