I do a lot R&R work for for guys who believe your style is best , it isn't . Good luck bud I hate chasing gremlins like your doing but some bikes you never find out what it was .

If you keep the pipes think about a set of revision cones there cheap and will help but will take a little playing with the carb to get it right .
I have the cones and a bag of jets. It has a super e and intake on it so I'm a bit familiar with those. Snow comin so I should have it buttoned up this weekend. I hope. Thanks for the advice, and I'll keep ya posted....

Did a hillbilly port job on the heads and found it had no spacer on the breather gear, but tight as hell and I'm takin her out tomorrow night. Thanks again for the help guys. This b#$ch is on the road.
