[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 17535, member: 98"] okay its cold and cloudy .....i couldnt help it i went for a ride after putting it all back together.....well its just like you would think its a little down on power at lower rpm and labors wanting you to shift to lower gear but not bad it was smooth in this range ......when i got to the hiway i went after the upper rpm and it sang a power song much different than before ...at first iwasnt to impressed but look down and the 82 speedo was buried ..thats not hard to do but i could tell it was happing faster than before ......so after that i tried to shake off the cold and clear my mind and pay attension .....the second time i notice when i got after it would pull the forks up and though the entire hi end and only drop down when i went for another gear .....before it would bring the forks up hard at first then let the bike back down while still going though the gear .....so theres no doubt that the bike running harder in the upper rpm and keeps it power there without falling off .....with that said i did notice that it seemed that the carbs fall off around 6800 rpm ....but still pulled hard .....it surprised me how much different the bike sounded it was playing a different song....im sure that the advance on the 1100 ignition is a lot different and is a mismatch to the cam ....ive read somewhere that it can be changed ......so as it stands right now im okay with it and it is faster but ithink there is more to do here to get full benefit from the change im going to find out how much different the advance is between 1100 and 75 1000....and see what ican do .....i did this to get some insite on the 1200 project ..... one thing ican say for sure is i like a bike that dosnt fall off and just make noise after a certain rpm ....the 82 is fully dressed and its moving out strong but there is more tweaking to do and still lots of options at this stage still the biggest is switching to 1000 ignition and dyna setup ...i will probably ride it like this for awhile and see what i can do with it in its 1100 ignition mode ....i need more saddle time ....ive said a lot for only going less than five miles while i was freezing im happy it running good ....you sould have seen how bad the cams looked before i worked om them ....so far so good.... :music2: :music: :rocks: :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
