Wow... Haven't logged in for some time....yall r makin very cool stuff....awsome builds.
I figured i'd chime in, share whats been thumpin down my neck of the woods.

Now, im sure some of u may b thinkin "wow whatta sh*t muffler!", and I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you, but the real issue here that my bike is possessed and im starting to feel pretty good about it. This is the third & final time that Mary Jane....thats her name btw.....has shat out her muffler guts. U can get an idea from the pic the many many different ways ive tried "fixing" the situation and under any other circumstance any one of them would have worked.....but she don't like it like that. Mary Jane likes her straight pipe, and i have wised up and stop fighting her...and now all is right with the world. I'm going deaf in one ear but she actually runs better that way...also loud pipes save lives.

Now.... Possessed mechanical bike stuff is one thing.... Processed Electrical is another. Versy was kind enough to come out to my pad and trade me a regulator for some artwork. Now, ever since that swap the bikes been acting completely different, electrically speaking of course.
Like.... Can anyone tell me why when I rev my engine the stator puts out 100 milliamps or whatever but when we measure the battery the voltage actually drops when I raise the RPM....?!?!
Another very noticeable characteristic that changed is the insufficient return to idle after a decent stretch of engine slowing the bike down. Often times it dies and I'll have to pop the clutch and hit the starter at the same time to get it to light back up whilst on the freeway or any other completely inconvenient time.
  So big bumpers let me have it... what do you thinks going on?

Really....1inch stock.... than why my electrical components won't bolt completely around the handlebars? When I go to bike shops and question about the throttle sleeve they bring up 7/8ths on their compugismo. Even turn the screen around showed me,, look..stock handlebars is supposed to be 7/8 ( even though 7/8 and 1inch r darn close).

Okay well I'd love for versy to chime in cause he was stumped too. Also this doesnt explain why my bike almost dies when I pull in the clutch after the engines slowing the bike down.

Awesome! Okay now we're getting somewhere. Thank you Serowbot for giving me a new direction to go at this throttle sleeve issue.

The idle speed is up where it should be. What wud jettng hav 2do w/dying on decel? And why did the change occur when versy and i put this 87 brain in? I haven't messed with the jets in quite some time. Something is most definitely not adding up....................
    .....However I have been witnessing an interesting occurrence with the changing of how my motorcycle runs. When she shat the muffler out for the last time i did not notice any immediate difference in the performance of the bike nor her signature backfire characteristics. In fact the bike doesnt backfire on shutdown anymore..ever.
What I have noticed however is backfiring through the carb so bad the percussion rattles my sphincter..... it actually doesn't bother me that much it's just kind of a shocking thing to witness... like a cherry bomb going off a foot away from your nutties........ it existed before but not to this frequently or violently and the change came on slowly.....   why would the bike SLOWLY change?

Ya Dane and i r gonna adjust the valves soon as we get a good weekend.

+1? Whats that mean?
A real backfire? U mean when flames shoot out of it? I see flames out the drag pipe now and then but i can't say i've ever seen any out the carb. I have seen the flash...but not often.

what's this mean?

U bring up a very good point about the suttle changing in my bikes performance serowbot.
Oh so thats how the lingo goes, huh..ok cool. Yes backfiring carb no good.

Versy,, Basically I was just trying to explain what was happening in my own words. Its a loud, violent explosion. Mostly you just feel the percussion of it. Doesnt seem like a good thing. Next time I hop on my bike I'll have to try and mentally record happens.

Muffler Looks SHATTURD,,
Defiantly.
