Clutch or jetting?

So when I'm full throttle around 5k it seems to kick into high or something. Almost like the clutch is slipping but it didn't start doing this until I changed my fuel filter. Any ideas?

Sounds like a jetting issue.
Stock airbox or pods?
Carb Jet Kit or Stock?

Stock air box and jet kit according to po. But when I cleaned the carbs the main jet screw said 107.5. Isn't that stock. I do have full v&h exhaust. Air/fuel screws 3 turns out.

Sounds like the area concerning the needle taper (see graphic below).
Assuming you have adjustable needles. You can try setting the clip down a notch (richer) to help with that transition point. (see attached)
I had my carbs off a million times, but once I got it right, it screamed!

After my ride it still a little noticeable. Maybe one more notch. It's now from 6k to 7k. Anything else it could be? It doesn't do it when I gradually get to 6 or 7k.

The starting point is 1 in from the rich end IIRC. I would start there. How many notches are on your needles?
