Missed this before: how did you go about removing a little from the head pipe section?

J

The pipe mod was already had been performed when I bought the bike. The previous owner explained what had been performed, about 1" was remove, all the pipe mounts were removed and relocated to adjust for the shorter head pipe.
Keep in mind this was performed on a Messico pipe, so FMF or any other pipe may be different.

Got it, thanks!

Might play around with a flywheel weight as well...maybe?

A flywheel weight on that bike in particular is a nice mod. I had a '99, Rick's '99 to be exact, then following, a 2000. The 2000 wasn't around long, as I had a falling out with the dealer, but while I had it (a month or two) we put a gww on it. It made the bike easier to ride. I rarely count that short time with the machine because it isn't enough time to really gel with a bike. Following that I was on a 250, a 300, then back to a 250. All great steeds stock, but a few is always good.
