so i still have this bike.. ive put about 2300 miles on it since i finished building it last summer. ive started to get a little tired of the open pipes as they are LOUD. picked up a set of 8" baffles and installed them in the drag pipes today. sounds WAY quieter (although not as mean as before). its amazing how much difference a little back pressure makes.. ive not rejetted the carbs yet but even running pretty rich, the bike idles at a lower rpm and has a #$%*-ton more backpressure. i actually have problems kickstarting it now which is saying alot since kickstarting the bike previously was like kicking a 100cc dirtbike!! when the carbs are rejetted ill take the old girl for a spin and see if torque and gas mileage has improved any..
