       As a Suggestion go to the tech board and start reading. Bob-atticrat-is a sponsor here but he is booked out for awhile and his mods WORK. But it do take MONEY. Find someone near you with a digisync and see if they Might set the carbs for you. Depending on miles and whether or not the seller kept up bringing All services up to date is a Good idea. To a long gander at the tech board and the 1500 board. And should someone offer help Good BBQ and icy cold adult drinks go a Long ways to cementing a Friendships!   And Welcome to Our Sandbox!   RIDE SAFE.

      Our Annual Rally-A K A known as Inzane-was held in your town in 16. Even with my Brother-da prez-getting a little sick I Still had a good time there!  And point of fact due to my health was the last Inzane I attended. That We lef Morgan Town Fri and got to Il. that evening so could we attend The Illinois Freedom Ride in Marseille Il. Again-Welcome to Our Sandbox. RIDE SAFE.

Aside from some pretty fancy work, the Valkyrie is quick as you need, if you get a good tune, air cleaner, carbs in good clean order, carbs properly synched, valves adjusted, damper rubbers good, all vacuum leaks resolved (with or without a desmog of much of it), drool tube drained, proper rear end lube and assembly, clutch fluid clean.  The stock pipes breath very well.

My '98 had glass packs, IS carb springs, IS ICM, and dynajet needles. It gained 2 HP on the Dino. Except for AtticRat, not many mods improve over Honda OEM.

The Honda-engineered stock pipes can be improved, however.  They have the best streetable torque with their velocity but then they are required to restrict the sound volume by the EPA.  As a result, the true muffler reduces power by the friction of all the extra backpressure.  Get rid of that, and recover the power wasted.  That is, replace it with a Cherry Bomb or the like.  Put in a header collector and gain scavenging.  Add a crossover to improve torque more.  Do this to the OEM exhaust and keep the double wall headers that don't color if you don't overheat them. That is, don't run the engine too rich or lean; don't run the bike in the garage for long, unless you set up a fan to cool the pipes.
You may know I provide these upgrades since '99 - along with other options you can choose, like silencers, Trombones, Organ Pipes, Crossover, 4 or 5 inch stacks, so you can set it up to change sound easily, go louder or quieter with noticeable more power and w/o rejetting.  Cheaper if you provide the cores to build on.  I  also do core exchanges when they are available.  The exhaust banner above, appears frequently, will take you to my exhaust site.

Thank you seems like good advice.
