High Performance Questions 96 Sportster

[WhipLash96]

Well, I went to finish installing my pipes and I noticed that I do not have the serrated flange nuts. I ordered 8 of them from FastenAll, and in stainless steel as well.

I got my pipes installed today and I took it out for a ride. I installed the 190 main and left the 46 pilot in. I must say that I do think that I got the jet combination down based on how the bike responded. I took her up to the higher speeds and I liked how everything felt. Now all I need to do is get WhipLash back onto the dyno and see how those afr's are. I do think that we are close though.

Thanks to HRK and Mayor for all of the input as you will be surprised at how much I did listen. I will keep you all updated as the changes take place...

[WhipLash96]

Well I have had another dyno run performed and this time with a tune. I am making 70/70. I also am about 70/30 that I will be making a cam change as this is a little weak for my taste. There are a couple of things that I want to try before I make the final decision.. 

[WhipLash96]

Well, I have come to the conclusion that I am not going to move forward with anymore engine work as I am satisfied with the results of my last dyno run and tune. the decision came down to basically money, I am not will to spend over a 1k for 10/10 gains. Thank You Mayor, HRK, Prodrag for your help, it was all really valuable..

Glad you got it where you like it...

[mayor]

yea, at some point we all have to decide if the gains are worth the cost. 

what, we aren't going to get to see the new pipes?     I promise, I won't bust on your choice too much. 

[WhipLash96]

OK, I will take it.....

Basani? 

[WhipLash96]

Yep 

[mayor]

1 3/4" head pipes or 2"?    looks like 2".  if that's the case, you didn't listen to anything I was telling you.   

[WhipLash96]

it is an 1 3/4"

[mayor]

you did good then    are he two pipes joined in anyway? 

[WhipLash96]

They are kind of joined at the bracket because they use the same bolt to fasten to the frame, but they are individual.
