Well you were discussing the low end and saying it wasn't a race bike. I was hoping you'd report back and say it's now a fire breathing dragon and you were deeply concerned about your physical safety every time you cracked the throttle open..

Personally, I find the fact that the low range power is still quite good a bonus. I get to have my cake and eat it too.

So, project "Never ending" update.
Got the adjustable purple cdi box in. It's actually kind of a nice looking piece, but I hope it is not just a nice bit of bling. I marked the adjuster screws "factory" location and then found both ends of the adjustment. Out of the package they have it turned clockwise about 2/3 of the way, so the setting favors a little more advance on the lower RPM ranges. I will definitely have fun toying around with it to see if it actually does anything. I ordered a new type of air filter to go with my PE30. The foam pod filter just doesn't quite clear the fairing, and although it doesn't seem to be an issue, I think it looks a bit stupid and not quite tucked away enough for my liking. I ran across this guy and decided to give it a try. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RDR-Clamp-O...72.m2749.l2649 It is a washable/reusable filter, the neck for the carb is a bit longer, and it has more angle to it. My hope is that it will tuck into the cavity of my hacked up air box a bit better. My cut to length pushrods should be here today or tomorrow. I can then confirm if they are indeed the right ones. Yes, a little bit of reckless ordering on my part lol. I am pretty sure they will work though. I am still debating if I want to swap out to the thinner MLS head gasket I have when I do go to install the pushrods. It would literally only be 2 extra steps at that point. That would bump me up to about 10.8:1 static compression. I may just wait to see how things go with the CDI though. If I can advance the timing at the lower revs the added compression isn't really necessary.
