I rode it with the bandaid fix of JB weld and with the jetting on and the new reed spacer I made it was like a Rocket.  It ran excellent.  But, I don't want to leave it this way and I don't want to buy a new silencer (but will if I have to).  There is only about a 1 inch gap between the core and the end plate when I rode it last weekend.  There is not much of the core left on the end plate, but since it broke off almost flush I will weld the core to the plate.  Since there is such a small amount of length lost it will still fit into the end with the spark arrestor.
