Yes, kill, and judging by the rather crazy look in his eyes (probably from several sleepless nights) I don't think he was kidding! He's a pic of the BSA before I put on a headlight:

Hey guys, i gots another question. I know i said it still ran like a monster but i think i was just so damn happy about how it ran and how it sounded. Plus i hadent gone for a real ride yet when i did that. Yesterday it was warm outside so me and my dad went for a damn good ride. My bike ran great as always when i was cruising around. But when me and my dad got out onto one of those 2 laned rural highways, i figured i would let those 100 horses clear their throats.. i was behind my dad in 4th gear crusing along around 4000-5000RPM. I figured i would downshift and go rocketing past him. Before that crossover pipe broke off, i could downshift and just LAUNCH.. like seriously take off like a spaceship.. i downshifted like i do when i want to go fast and i opened the throttle wide open to fire past him. But instead of launching like i wanted it to, it kinda just slowly sped up.. it was speeding up fairly quickly i guess but no where near what it was before.. So, i know if i go back to stock with my exhaust and just patch up those holes, ill have all my power back.. but i want it to sound throaty still.. not straight pipe throaty but louder than normal.. with tons of power.. Any recommendations? should i just put a 4into1 on there and re-jett? whats a good jet size to start off with if i plan on doing this?

Right now its at 122.5 i think which is stock..

and that bike is beautiful man!!!
