DEFINITELY smooth it out bro. Just take you time...flappers work real well for jobs like this. I'd clean it all up...from the intake, through the spacer, to the boot. Heres mine. This was right at 25.5mm and now its a perfect 28mm.....good luck!

dam that looks nice. you got some skills. so you say flappers huh? the casting marks are pretty smooth already i was wondering how to get in the angle the sanding drums do do very well in there lol
+2 not only will it run better, but it's about the cheapest horsepower you will find for your money. Any time spent to smooth out all ducting into and out of the cylinder will make a major difference all across the power band. This includes all gasket mating surfaces, ports and header pipe.

God bro......I feel your pain
Im waiting on ACL recontructive surgery in 2 weeks...UGH! I just wanna ride! lol. But your right....its a good time to go through the bike and do all the free mods you can. I'd pull your head once you've matched everything above.....and match it to your intake. Heck...might as well pull the valves and clean up your ports while your at it. You dont have to take a bunch of material off....just smooth it all out. If i can help let me know....im sitting here broke up too

I have a tool store here in coos bay that sells a bit for my dremal that uses the sand paper rolls that come in a head porting kit lots of diferent sizes and shapes so you can smooth out all of the contours I was able to use some of cone shaped rolls on the litle dremal bit for the polishing wheels the one that has a screw on the tip

well as of now it has a smoother throttle response i had to go to a bigger main jet and it seems to pull harder longer up on top. but if you look at some of the first pics you'll notice that there was almost an 1/8" lip that has since been removed
