I had a friend make me a set of passenger highway pegs. The pic is not the greatest but you get the idea. They bolt on to the bottom of a set of remade front pegs. That way when you get to your destination you can remove them if you want.
I have the pilot power 2ct 's (dual compound). I was able to give them a good tryout at wvexxt. They are sweet, handle awesome. I'll try to report back on how long they last.
I love it. I noticed quite a difference when you roll-on the throttle. I remember the numbers on the midrange values being alot higher.
Let me know what you think
Get the vacuum off the base of the carbs. there should be 1/4 black hose coming off each one. find a spot where they come together for the most vacuum possible.
sounds like you figured out the coils
