Leo Vinci: Another Exhausted Aero

Greetings:
Mein Gott in Himmel! It's here! Ordered only last week, all the way from der Fatherland, those Germans are nothing if not efficient. FedEx too! Here 't'is:


Werx's had 6g rollers included, none in mine. What's up with that? I demand my Roller Rights!! But mine had no headpipe restrictor either, maybe that's a wash. Installation was easy thanks to skinny stock 2.75 tires. I can see where those fat 100/90s made for some clearance issues. No shimming necessary on mine but the bracket's wacky: the rubber bushings are rendered useless because the only way it fit was with the flats adjacent.


My pictures suck legendarily, but you can always look at BT's and pretend they're mine.
Anyway, it's on and airtight. Sound is the sharp crackle of a Chamber, far far away. MUCH quieter than drilled stock muffler, probably marginally louder than stock.
There is a definite stumble just off idle that wasn't there before - no tach, but about 3000 RPM by ear. Then it just RIPs! 40 MPH appeared quickly in a short stretch of street where I'd never seen over 35 before. Then it started raining here in Deepinnaharta, curtailing further evaluation for now.
Some tuning yet to do: located a K&N that has a 20-degree angled inlet which should fit. Also have lighter than my current 9-gram rollers on the way plus 1000+ clutch springs coming. Will watch the CHT gauge closely but my current jet is rich, if anything.
Once the power is confirmed, I have the Malossi 7.83~:1 gears to install. Maybe 50 is in reach - It's already done 47+ - with a stock carb! See Carbonized Reed thread...
