The flatslide will not get you a whole bunch more in HP or Torque, but what it does do is give you more response from the throttle, and with several different needles and jets, it can be tuned better than the orig....acceleration is a noticable improvement...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #139320 Thom M (User) When the going gets weird, the RoadStar gets going Senior Boarder Posts: 291 Re:If you could change only one thing 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   Flashback wrote: Thom M wrote: Maybe a 42 flatside?

Which is all stuff I really didn't know. I just mentioned the flatside cause I've heard it mentioned here so often. But wouldn't better throttle response and an improvement in acceleration be considered an improvement on performance? After reading your reply I'm going to have to look in to a flatside. Thanks for that info Flashback.   Logged     Thoms photo gallery   The administrator has disabled public write access. #139361 Onrecess (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 77 Re:If you could change only one thing 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   Geez, I was only playing. Half the fun of a cruiser is making it "yours"- faster, louder, flashier, or whatever...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #139398 eblack (User) Don't force things, just use a bigger hammer Senior Boarder Posts: 202 Re:If you could change only one thing 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   For a stock bike a 31 tooth pully , for my bike a 42mm flatslide Mikuni.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #139408 GJCARVING (User) Glad to be on the Clinic!!! Gold Boarder Posts: 661 Re:If you could change only one thing 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   six speed!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #139456 fireman922 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 223 Re:If you could change only one thing 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   I agree, a 6 speed. Although my 33 tooth pulley helped soome. A 6 speed with a 31 pulley - Awesome!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #139504 chico (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 40 Whats the real differance 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   what is the real differance between the 33 tooth pully or the 31 or the 32.............. faster excel,better top end, more torque,what??????????????   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #139508 BlackHorse (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 67 Re:If you could change only one thing 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   I could really get exited about a 6 speed...I rode my neighbors new HD Low Rider and that made a believer out of me. Really fast out of the hole and low rpms when cruising...gotta love it,and I am not a harly fan!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #139518 fireman922 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 223 Re:Whats the real differance 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   The different pulleys alter your final gear ratio. A 31 will give you quicker "out of the hole" acceleration, at the expense of higher cruising RPM. A 33 will drop your cruising RPM, while giving up some quickness. I cruse much more than stoplight drag race, so I went to a 33 tooth.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #139630 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh.

I cruse much more than stoplight drag race, so I went to a 33 tooth. Me, too. Added about 2 mpg overall. Perfect since I'm a tame rider and do take longer road trips.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access.
