Sorry, didn't realize you are a woman. You should just get it dyno'd.
I'M KIDDING!
But as was mentioned, before you tear into the carb, do the gasket swap. An exhaust gasket that isn't sealing can cause the popping, as can a lean mixture. But if your gasket isn't sealing, you'll spend a lot of time chasing your tail trying to eliminate the popping by rejetting your carb, if you can get it set up properly with a leaking gasket.

Thanks for responding and the input. It helps to hear others say this too.
I went to the HD dealership and all they said was "you should just get it dyno'd" I thought oh nice. He sees a woman asking a question and thinks he can just blow me off with a standard "don't waste my time bitch" answer. Whatever...My money won't be spent there when I need anything done.
Anyway....I also think I should pop out the plug to find the air/fuel mixture at the carb. A carb adjustment might help it too.

ok, ok I won't touch the carb until I get the gasket sealed properly.
