If you had the tank off, or the tank up, it is possible that you kinked the stock fuel line. It (a kinked line) restricts the fuel flow at higher revs typically. Lots of guys have done it. Replace it with a standard rubber fuel line and try it.

I would also run fuel cleaner for a tank or 2. There's got to be an equivalent of Sea Foam on the other side of the pond.
