1998 royal star motorcycle
When at cruising speeds and when slowing down in deceleration the engine backfires. Have checked all fittings to ensure tight and replaced gaskets. Adjusted carbs to try different fuel air mixtures.
Is this a good question?

ironmonkeyto, Make sure carbs are adjusted correctly and fuel levels are good, one of the biggest reasons for this is if you have an exhaust leak. Check for leaks at all exhaust connections especially at exhaust port/engine connection as well as any cracks/breaks in exhaust system. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

I have found out that in a multi-carb system, the carburetors need to be synchronized. That eliminated the backfiring.
