You've reached the first plateau, Grasshopper. They all pop (on deceleration). But what about acceleration? Does it stutter, cough, stumble or hesitate? Does it pull strong from idle to red line?
I've just re-read where you say she's a little "jumpy" on acceleration. Is that a bad thing? Sounds like how Cycle World described it in July of '82. If you can get your hands on it, it's a great read.

Mine does too. And more so with 91oct than with 87oct. This after going through the carbs, new intake boots, valve adj, and carbtune sync.
I'll stay tuned to see how this plays out for Mr. rsquire

Good lookin’ bike Trevor! Hoping to clean mine up to your standards soon. Do you have details on that fork brace?
bonanzadave solidarity, brother. Will update if anything changes.
Rob S. Y’know, I think that mag might be something I’d like to own on paper. I’m gonna search. The bike idles smooth at ~1050 RPM and pulls hard all the way to red line, which I need to do more often.

A little snap crackle and pop on deceleration is normal for a carburetored machine, usually more noticeable the higher the RPMs are. I personally love it and wouldn't try to rid myself of the symphony. It can become obnoxious depending on how loud your exhaust is and how you ride, so I try to be considerate of others on the road when having fun. Although my 850 still has the factory exhaust so it sounds pretty castrated as it is. I used to have a 5.slow Foxbody that was fairly modified and used to run it open headers and listen to the crackle on deceleration.

The fork brace came with the bike....I blasted and painted it....it's old school and was around before the "modern" for braces that wrap around the forks....not sure how effective they are but I love the old school look.

They used to be sold as Muscle Braces, on this side of the pond.
I've seen them relatively recently as new stock, but I doubt it was the original maker and likely others copied it anyway.
