With the big boot clamp i'll take my old damaged 2001 boot out put the new one in the clamp put the old one under the seat it still works!  I guess mine could get ripped off it hang out there a little!  | ||

Any of you guys on twitter? | ||

 Project setting up. EZ | ||

Awesome Ed i'm telling you your going to love this thing!!  | ||
| Ezblast |
Looking forward to it - spent quality time making sure I got it right - lol EZ | ||
| Thumpe |
First thing i had to do after it warmed up was re-adjust the carb an lower the idle u run 48/180 with your stack setup. | ||
| Ezblast |
If this works, I'm hopping it will - making a second one will be just as involved as the first - I can see why they charge the money they do - but their item won't fit in my stack - so I'd have to make it anyway - wasn't hard - just measure and re-measure, about 3 trial fittings on the spare carb - now just waiting for the JBWeld to set. EZ | ||
| Thumpe |
No hopping about it as soon as u pull out your driveway you're going to feel it!! Ya everybody's on there own on this one! I offered to make them but i don't want any nasty patent letters from the other guy!! An that smile under your helmet today priceless!!  | ||

Besides there is a company that already makes one for stock applications - http://scaryfastracing.net/harley.html and probably worth every penny! I usually have to launch my daily rider due to the Force exhaust dumping all the power into the mid-range and upper end. That means bringing it up to around 3000 rpms then taking off at the light - if I bring it up too high - instant wheel lift - lol. Not today though - today I pretended that it actually had some bottom end, and it did! I would take off from idle - no revving just a steady twist of the throttle and off I went - no bogging or terminal slowness, just brisk acceleration. This was a definite difference in performance, and I'm very happy with the results. In the weeks to follow, I'll take the time and make another one for my weekend toy - now that should be a trip, since it already launches damn quick! No problem getting to 95 either, so it didn't rob from the top to feed the bottom, as I was afraid it might do. A very nice mod indeed! EZ | ||

EZ, Why wait it's only 4 bolts take it off the daily an throw it on the weekender!! Like i said as soon as u pull out your driveway u will feel it!! You fab a big boot clamp yet you'll like that mod to! | ||
| Ezblast |
The one I made for the Daily rider is very good, however, the one I make for my weekend toy will be perfect! Thats why - lol - on that bike I am a perfectionist. Its always paid off for me also. The take off on my weekend toy is already very sweet - I want this done perfectly to get the whole effect on the toy, and perhaps use the leftover stack to make a perfect one for the daily rider. EZ | ||

EZ, just looking at the design intent of this thing, it seems like it would correct a "dirty air" condition at any acceleration rate which uses part throttle. If the rider is at full throttle the butterfly would not generate the dirty air condition, correct? ______________________ Firing order: 1 | ||

Yes - also acting like a tuned manifold - splitting the air for faster velocity. EZ | ||
| Fast1075 |
The similar one that Honda used in the 125 motor put the splitter in the port downstream from the carb...this effectively cut the port volume in half at part throttle to increase port velocity..it worked then too. | ||
| Thumpe |
Ya downstream i'm playing with that one today! | ||
| Awf_hand |
So if that is correct then the performance would only be affected at part throttle, due to the increase in airflow velocity over a stock arrangement. I could see a potential gain in fuel mileage with faster air movement -i.e. better atomization- at cracked throttle, but wide open throttle power delivery would not change at all, correct..? ______________________ Firing order: 1 | ||
| Ezblast |
Correct! | ||
| Thumpe |
Told u i was playing with the downstream yesterday here's what i got i'm going to try to get some mile on it today.   | ||

Brace News: I talked with Chris at Superbrace and he told me there will be a delay till friday while they have one of their tech.s go by a HD/Buell shop and confirm my measurements - yes they do match one of the bikes mentioned - he would not tell me which one - however, he said that as soon as they have a conformation of measurements - he would give me a part number - he said friday at the latest. Sorry guys - I was hoping today, but, for safety reasons they wanted to make sure. EZ (Message edited by ezblast on November 12, 2008) | ||

Here's my 2 watts of LEDs acting as front fog lights. They're set to come on with the low beam. One shot is with the flash, and the other without.   | ||

Boy that didn't take long i just post it lol !! Ya why not i'll sell them to members at a discount though I still got 2 more! | ||
| Krjoseph |
I'm watching that auction, dang, I'm spending too much money lately.  So, how much for the downstream splitter installed? | ||
| Thumpe |
krjoseph, Thanks for watching but the splitters i'm staying away from because the other guy has patents on them. If u really want a boot pm me. | ||

OK...I give up. What is the secret to removing and replacing the left side foot peg bracket. It took two hours to get it off and after changing the the trans fluid I don't feel like struggling with those three nuts to get it back together. Is there a special wrench or socket to get at those three nuts? I would also like to see the torque wrench that fits in there. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. | ||
| Reuel |
First of all, don't take it off. Just unscrew the nuts most of the way, and you can pull the foot peg bracket out far enough to get to it. For the topmost nut, you can probably get at it with a normal ratchet. For the middle and bottom nut, a 6" extension and U-joint adapter at the socket are necessary for ease. I've done it quite a few times, and it's now quite easy, now that I have a technique. The right foot peg bracket makes the left foot peg bracket look easy, by the way. Oh--I never used a torque wrench. I have the Knack. (Message edited by reuel on November 14, 2008) | ||
| Jjl |
Thanks for the info. I tried a number of different length sockets and extensions with and without a u joint. I needed a different set up for each nut and I forgot what worked because I tried so many different things. I even tried some different manifold wrenches and none worked. I will just have to struggle with it tomorrow and finish it up. I may go in and adjust the clutch while I have it off. Thanks again. Jim | ||

At ur local hardware store near the allthread rods are coupler nuts, i think thats what they r called, basically long nuts for the threaded rod, much easier to get at. EZBLAST has this posted somewhere here, but it was easier to just type it instead of finding it and linking to it |
