Re: Sliders vs Rollers?

OK, if i go with 12g sliders at a constant speed of say 45 MPH will the RPMs be higher or lower vs stock rollers?

Does the snorkel twist off?

Re: Sliders vs Rollers?

2112, that is a great Rush CD......back to sliders. So if i change to 12g sliders my MPG will drop? I ride mostly service streets with speeds of 40-50 MPH i want the best gas mileage at those speeds. What is gained from snorkel removal? Is there a sound clip of a drilled.. muffler? Did the hump mod.

Seat Hump Mod.

Most everyone agrees the hump is a pain in the arse......so the easy and free way to help is to move it back a bit. I did actually not move it back just cut off about an inch from the front edge and changed the angle of the foam. This inch made a difference, this mod along with the 1/2 inch lower se...

Re: Easy Access for Valve Adjustment.

I got my hand and ratchet in there with just the small panel removed and the red bottom panel using a flash light to see, it was not that hard to do. Take off the black kick panel and you could put both arms in there! ;)
