fast forward and imo packed pipes don't do these bikes proper. Even if it's with the street baffle, there is nothing out here that compares to it. Middle agers could give two flying hoots. But outside of that age category and its' game on. I was stopped by teenage chics (3 of them) because they wanted to check it the ride. The passenger was egging me to take her friend the driver for a spin, I didn't speak out loud. Gas, grass, or as someone and they might turn you in for assault.
But I noticed that too about the carburation. Having it set up for the street baffle unpacked it doesn't run better when setup differently.

After a few hundred miles...
I think the plugs in pic show better color and burn, but #4 is a little-bit rich and #3 a touch lean...we're getting closer.
All pilot air screws are since reset at 3 +/- turns out (to compensate), with 132.5 jets.
The resonant sound at 5-6K is mind boggling. Beyond that it breaches nirvana. :woohoo:

GMO or organic, nutty or smooth? Where to find that perfect color when there are so-many variables.
PS. Maybe the dog ate it!
Just discovered something. If you right click on the photo, then left click "view image" when it comes up, you can then zoom in and see amazing detail otherwise far-beyond standard visual perception. :ohmy:
