Hi Ken, my 2001 RK did the same thing until I had the Rinehart Tru Duals and mufflers put on AND a Thunderslide with Dynojet jet kit. That was the big problem the stock slide even though Harley supposedly reworked the carb when the 95" big bore kit was installed. Well it had the wrong jets and the stock slide. I have 35k miles on the bike. It now dynos at 82HP 94 Torque at 96 degree air temp. It runs great and no pops, backfires or misses except at slow speed because of the cams it will lope or surge.

2006 Honda Shadow aero 750 Problems starting

If the problem start after putting Vance & Hines Pipes, then try to sync the carbs, if not possible (meaning turning the sync screw all the way and cant sync them), reJet the carbs with 1up, slow and main Jet.

No power when give it gas.

believe carb adjustment bad & carb needs to be rejetted to exhaust, believe you need to add a higher flow gas valve & possibly new plugs & wires

Hard to start when hot

It sounds like you fuel map is wrong. Motorcycle are extremely sensitive to any changes you make in the intake or exhaust system. Sounds like you need to take your bike and have it put on a dyno to figure out the new map for your fuel. I'm not familiar with the the Vance & Hines fuel pack. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Good Luck, Steve

Bike dies at idle, have to choke it even when temp is 95. only upgrade on bike I know of is vance and hines longshots

Most likely gummed up jets from sitting for an extended time. remove carbs and clean out jets. see if that solves your problem. before you do this though remove your fuel line after filter and check for adequate fuel flow.

Engine dosent stay on

not nessesarily.
changing the exhaust system usually requires rejetting the carb.
a different exhaust pipe will give/make the exhaust back pressure change. you should of gotten a paper with instructions saying something about changing the jetting.
