Default Update on my '81 kz650

So I finally got my new coils, got them installed, new wires, new plugs. Now its running like its a whole new bike. Power shortages are completely gone, hit 8000 rpm's without a stutter (wouldn't do 4000 before), and beat the 50 mph limit I was hitting before by 20 miles. I'm not confident enough yet in myself or the biketo go faster than that or even hold that speed without a long straight road, no traffic, and good leather. Still hearing and feeling some things in the fuel system I have to work out but nothing thats really affecting the performance. Anyway, she's ALIVE!!!

Thanx.
I figured out that the previous owner put the handle bars on backwards, is there a reason for this like racing, or was he just a dum**ss?
I swithced them back, It wasn't comfortable.
