Well having spent the weekend with the spanners out fitting a Mikuni HSR42 and new K&N filter I have.......................
ONLY JOKING - I got the credit card out and let some oil lover do it.
Anyway, those of you who have been behind my bike will know that it bangs like a bast@rd and shoots blue flames out of my V&H Big Shots on overrun.
The hope was that fitting the Mikuni would get rid of this (althougn I sort of like the attention ), but it didn't. The bike goes like hell now though and the vibration that had started at about 90mph has gone, now it pulls like a porn star at a singles convention.
So a couple of questions for those of you with a penchant for dirty fingernails;
Should I get some Kurykyn Power Cones fitted to stop the banging / flames?
Should I sell the original carb? How much?
I had a Street Glide for the day when the bike was in the dealers and the stereo is the bollox. Can you imagine how good I looked cruising through Yorkshire villages in the sunshine with Bonnie Tyler belting out "Holding Out for a Hero" at full volume and me singing along?
Exactly. That's why I will not be getting one.
