I do have a question about the vacuum advance port on #2. I pulled the vacuum advance line and plugged it while syncing. Correct?

[Ken Talbot]

You want to leave that one connected and working properly. This is the line connected to the nipple on carb #2, which operates the advance mechanism.

Thanks Ken.

Does anyone have an opinion about using blue locktite on the sync screws? I synced my carbs and the bike was smooth as silk, but after a 20 min ride on the freeway I find a slight vibration at 3.5-4k rpm. I was thinking of rechecking the sync and if it has changed, readjust and drip a little blue locktite on the screws to keep them from turning on their own.

A slight vibration shouldn't move those screws any. Try to find the source of vibration, maybe loose exhaust. I wouldn't use any thread locker, JMHO.

The springs that are on the throttle linkage and adjusting screw is intended to keep the screw from vibrating loose by keeping tension on the screw, preventing it from turning.
