Have you done a long "proper" ride-in, as in 15mins.+ keeping the throttle at 3200 RPM? If so, you could do the breather re-route and help the popping you're experiencing.

Breather re-route (http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Do-It-Yourself-Buell-Mods/Re-route-hoses) as mentioned above. The thread is extensive, including a recommended parts list and lots of pretty pictures, I advise at least skimming the whole thing before you begin. Also, some of the pics will give you a general idea of where some of us have put our filters, so you can decide where to put yours.

Cash for breather re-route: around $15

Time: under 30 mins.

You'll spend most of the time deciding how to route hoses than anything. Very easy and worth the work.
