Bike starts fine, runs fine after warming up and rides great.
But.... as you go through the gears and get to say around 55 60mph the bike will sputter a little bit and not gain anymore significant power.
So what are your thoughts?
You can see by my icon pic what ive done to the bike. the air pods have been added which fixed the idle problem. The air screws are turned out 1 turn. Wondering if the problem is Jet related, as in at higher speeds it isnt getting significant amounts of gas to support the load and speed.
Again i need some assistance
Thanx
If not already done, would assure proper functioning of the timing advancer, and also assure that valve clearances are within specs.
Good Fortune!

I have attached a chart of sorts that describe some good jetting rules of thumb.
In your case as described go up 3 main jet sizes and one pilot jet size according to the chart.
Good luck man. Nice bike BTW
