I tried the standard pipe- wow ! seems a lot more snappy than the PFR. No wonder they were putting a  flywheel weight on them back in the day. Just a work boot rap in the paddock though... too hot and dry to ride..
Will have to do a trackside compare sometime with both

 Spot the mistake here, granted a 500 isn't about extracting the maximum

 

One mistake, if you have an 84, is the suggestion to use a plug mandrell as the turning fixture.
The finnies have an angled plug.

That's correct now you reminded me of it. Been a fair while but IIRC used the base gasket to close the squish up.

Yes the 480's and '84 500 are bit harder to do than most heads.
