racking my brain on this one;

bike runs perfect, then after 30 miles or so plug goes bad/fouls..put a new plug in and runs fine.

pamco ignition
compression 135lbs both cylinders
carbs rebuilt/jeted/floats adjusted/synced (not my first rodeo)
pods and open pipes
timed
valves adjusted
cam chain adjusted

it is just the right side...:wtf:

I haven't tried hotter plugs. (shouldn't have too!)

I had a similar problem. It turned out that the throttle flap on my chronic left side did not quite close perfectly. I had always checked them without the carbs bolted together. Once I had them bolted to the little angle support and held them up to the light. I spotted the prob..I adjusted them and my problem disappeared...
 
What does the plug look like? Oil fouled is popular. Valve seals are typical suspects.
If the deposits are light and fluffy then a leaky float valve can be the cause.
