well guys the patriot performance 2-1 that i got for christmas was driving me crazy with intake revision noise coming out of the air cleaner never had a pipe make that much noise . alot of it has to do with the late intake close of the cams that im running . and i also went away from the true duals . with the short intake tract its very un forgiving . if your not running 10.25.1 compresion and a short intake close your pipe come in to play alot if ya have an intake close of 50 . went to a shorter primary 2-1 and modified a longer muffler that was on a rinhart 2-1 . intake noise is gone and its not a step header as the patriot pipe was .torque came up quite a bit as well in the lower rpm and i was able to lean the main down some as well . much better responce in the 2100 to 4500 range...

hey guys well a while back a good freind and indie let me try an s-s super e to see if the bike liked the bigger t body of the super e . and the 98 responded very well to the larger carb so i was out to find a bigger cv . now the question at hand. is has any one on the forum tried the s-s to cv adaptor for the larger s-s intake with good results and will i have to use the cv or s-s filter never tried it and i dont know so out to the wise old gray beards i go! thanks.

Out for a ride with friends on Saturday. Stopped at a watering hole and came across this little bike. Pretty cool gal that owned it. Said it was a Simplex on the tank. Also said "Automatic" and had USAF markings on it.

Bad day Thursday, Spyke starter fried it's solenoid at work. Stinks so bad it smelled like an electrical fire. Trailered it home and tore it down. I think I'll get the starter rebuilt locally, but now I only have power to the speedo light and blinkers. I'm guessing ignition switch went south. I never had it replaced on the 1997 Electra Glide factory recall. My question is this..Is this switch a factory only item or can I score an aftermarket unit? I hate givin money to the factory! :gah: Or, has anybody done a re-wire and kept the switch for the steering lock part only and run their own electrical switch?
