Way back in 1984 I bought a fj1100 silver and red and went thu the same stuff you did including the exploded clutch basket anyways I was making 105 on the motor and 165 with juice but I couldn't make any more power even with bigger jets well after running aprox. 300 to350 bottels of nitrous thru the thing one of the pistons came apart. the bike is sitting in my shop someware in the back it was a good sleeper bacause I kept the bottle in the tank bag and the bike had those engine covers.
