I gutted my stock pipe!
After talking to you guys about the my jetting and how its supposed to be for an after market pipe I got to thinking and talking to Lou. I took some of his ideas and some of mymine and came up with a great solution.
I started by grinding the endcap, stainlessand cylinder offthe end of the pipe.ThenI ground the3 welds that held in the packing and slid it out. I then slit the cylinder long ways and removed the remaining baffle plate. Next I knocked out the plug in the packing, and placed it back into the cylinder and rewelded. I welded the split back, and rewelded the cylinder back onto the can. I then made a tipwith 1-1/4" piece of galvanized pipe, welded it on the endcap, and cut a hole.This will take out original tip and remaining baffle.
I then welded the endcapback into place, riveted the stainles, painted, and VVVRRMMM!! Night and day difference in the bike. Iused a flux core 110V welded. It turned out better than expected.
I didn't get to take any pictures,sorry about that.

Hey, when push comes to shove and money's tight, a little ingenuity goes a long way, doesn't it?
I'minterested in seeing the pics.Glad it's working for you. We had one onther guy that did something similar, though I'm not certain who anymore...BryantJT maybe.

You guys crack me up!
Big Lou, again, thanks for the help and advice. This bike is exactly where I want it. I may down size a little in the jetting. Right now I have 128/40. It feels good, but I want to see what the 35 will do just for sh$#'s and giggles.
