Awesome, thanks for the video! Sounds wonderful, love it!!! It's a great reminder of 40 year old memories of triple 45 DCOEs and the Korman built engine in my Bavaria. 
After picking up from muffler shop, they did a fine job for $600.
How are the carbs behaving as a result?
Carbs are still popping a bit. I fear small vacuum leaks.
I figured out the redline though.
User error of course. Had the rev limiter set at 5500.duh.
Using 123 software and the iPad, it looks like the tack is not entirely accurate and certainly not the speedometer. Ordered a new cable, but it might be the gauge. I hear some clicking in there at high revs.
Otherwise it runs like a bad out of hell. Jumps right to 6500 when you hit it. Not quite as frosty as the 2002, but it gets there plenty quick, just not used to driving the big six.
Exhaust sounds nice, got the bong installed for the fuel air gauge, but it’s still plenty loud from the front end, if you know what I mean, and I’m sure you do, may need that box, specially, after my wife takes a ride
Drives mostly straight and I set the tow-in with some plates, but I don’t think it looks right. Is it possible to align the steering yourself or does it take professional help?

I stringed my wheels for an alignment good enough to get me to a proper alignment shop - they can get it within the margin of error listed in the manual.
