the header on my jardine exhaust was glowin red at the top for about 6 inches, never rode at night till i got my class m lisence. so i have never seen it before, or never noticed during the day.. i dont know if its normal for the header to get that hot? | ||
| Jimrich |
sweet.... | ||
| Muckerpuck |
kinda thought it was sweet to ,,, as long as its cool... and not bad.... | ||
| Swampy |
Sweet! That is the way it is supposed to look! | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Glowing red? That doesnt sound normal to me! (unless its just burning of some coating) | ||
| Ezblast |
Yeah - new pipes usually glow then they 'season' and don't - an often reported phenon - lol GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||
| Muckerpuck |
yup glowing red... ill take a picture somtime..... | ||
| Swampy |
Headers glow when things are hot, I would think that the exaust gases are hot enough to get the primary to the temparature to glow. If it is running real lean it would probably be more likely to be glowing, so check your spark plug for a reading. | ||

will do, im currently running 45/175 jets , still waiting for a 48 for my slow. | ||
| Buuueller |
Youll like the 48. | ||

Who said that was TOO RICH ??? | ||
| Muckerpuck |
who cares is this who wants to be a millionare, trollistic. | ||
| Ezblast |
I said the 180 is too rich where the needle overlaps the beginning of the main jet - there is a slight lag there. The 48 primary is fine. GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

Finished the project! The custom exhaust is on the Black bike and the Force is on the Red - I now have a rather quite ultra hi performance exhaust which really rocks - Terry should patten that puppy with the set-up I added - I'm getting very nice results from the set up, and now the Red is pretty maxed out as well - all in all a good day - though Modesto HD/Buells work sucks - the new bearing slipped out on a wheel change - so using bearing glue to see if that cures it - they had greased it - sigh - and I paid them money - grr - I could have bought a new wheel for that price and had none of these headaches and their rep would have never been in doupt. - such is life. Even with that I am very pleased with the results all around.GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

Bearing Locktite probably will not work, I would use the JB Weld. Tell me about the custom exhaust....Pictures please! Are you talking about the BUB that you found in some shops attic? | ||
| Ezblast |
 Thats a Force on the Red - only like 25 made - 595 to 695 new - stepped four times got a steap discount due to no mounting hardware - Bub is a straight 1 3/4 pipe to a meg can - the custom ia stepped and a large curve to the Suppertrap 4" - will post pics in a bit - Scott(NewBlaster) and Amy comming over for sup.

 Got some stuff from the big brown truck this morning!  Hopefully I can put it on this afternoon. Quick question before I head out to buy some jets, any recomendations. Bike will have the K&N filter and the D&D exhaust, othewise stock. I was thinking 45/175 to start with and see how that does. Thanks in advance. | ||
| Matty |
Them there are the nicest street going Blasts I've ever done seen, bar none. Good job EZ.  | ||
| Ezblast |
Off topic - thanks Matty - the red one is going through more changes due to the step-son(who's alright) bouncing her down the road - lol Jerm - 45/175 and shim 0.05 - enjoy! GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||
| Swampy |
Jermedic, Where did you find the D&D? (Message edited by swampy on October 29, 2007) | ||
| Jermedic |
EZ, thanks for the conformation. I got everything on in about 45 minutes this afternoon and the bike sounds pretty mean now and the midrange lag is gone. Should be better tomorrow, all of the HD dealers around me are closed on monday so I will have to pick up the jets tomorrow. Swampy, I found it on http://www.exoticsportbike.com I went with them because every site I found the d&d system on was within a few dollars, and they had the cheapest shipping to my house. The bike actually ran pretty well without rejetting, so I cant wait to see what it will do after getting that taken care of. I have had the bike for a few months now, and I always thought it was tons of fun to ride, but the difference is night and day. Today was by far the most fun ride I have had on the blast. | ||
| Jermedic |
Forgot to mention, the D&D is LOUD!!!  It has a nice deep tone as well. | ||
| Jimrich |
Sweet looking!! You noticed a night and day difference? How loud? Shaking windows loud? | ||
| Jermedic |
Jimrich- I was too busy riding to snap any pics, but I will try to get some up tomorrow. It is quite a bit louder than the VH or Jardine systems I have heard, but not quite big twin harley loud. I think it sounds sweet, but I think I will take it easy around the cops. There are plenty of much louder bikes around, but they don't have a lot to do in my city but write tickets. I doubt I would be hassled for it, but why take a chance, so no WOT around the man. | ||

I used the 45/175 jets at first (with K&N and pipe) then tried a 48 primary and got even more out of her. Just my two cents... | ||

In case anyone is interested in being a redneck like me, this is how to make your own muffler can for $10. http://www.sporttwin.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=37979. html#37979 Let the flaming begin. I just cant afford much high dollar stuff since I told my wife I needed the bike to save money.  | ||
| Muckerpuck |
i can hear it now,, you got the bike to save money not spend more on it......... |
