I use Denso W24ES-ZU platinum plugs which give a good burn.

You should be able to stand on the kickstart for a few seconds on each cylinder if you weigh around 13 stone which is a good indicator for a compression check. However if it was fine before the layup, then I would expect there is a carb problem, so the best way would be to send the carbs off for ultrasonic cleaning as they are probably gummed up if you didn't drain them.

Check that the cover is flat with a piece of glass, if not fix some 80 grit wet and dry on the glass and rub the cover on it until the high spot/ spots have gone. Then just a thin smear of grease on both sides, sorted.

You will need an offset air filter so that it will clear the monobloc banjo.

Their Peashooters have T140 bracket so straightforward fixing.
Check with Brituro.

The Megas have potentially replaceable baffles (?) (for when they're worn out) universal sliding mount, could be more fiddly to fit?
Check with Brituro.

Which ones sound better in your opinion?
Personal choice, but I prefer the peashooters
Which ones are louder?
Megas at tickover, quite a flat sound
Would either involve any jet changes?
Always do a plug chop to avoid tears at a later date!!

Brituro make a quality product with decent chrome and a good fit. I use their silencers for my restorations.
