#4397 yogez (Visitor) Posts: 0 1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   Hello to all any input will be appreciated. I ride an ALL STOCK 2005 Midnight Roadstar, had it since June of '05 has about 1,000 mi. in So. Cal L.A. area. I was thinking of adding the following as mi first mods to my R*: 1) V&amp;H Longshots - Road Star/1700 2) Pro-R Hypercharger ('99-'05 R*) Kuryakyn 3) Jet Kit for Hypercharger Kuryakyn Total about $800 plus $300 to $400 in instalation from dealer. Do you guys think this would be a good start? Do you guys have any other suggestions on where to start?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #4398 wchenss (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Re:1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   yogez, Baron's BAK air intake/filter and jet kit...one of best flowing air intakes available. Yamaha Speedstar or Baron's ported intake manifold. Yamaha 31 tooth drive pulley. A good set of 2 into 1 exhaust pipes like Roadhouse. You will think you got a new bike! Good luck and ride safe!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #4402 yogez (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   Thaks for the reply, I will look into the Baron's product. i have looked at 2 into 1 exhaust but have decided on 2 seperate flowing ones, i will also look into the Roadhouse. what kind of sound do these have? I am looking for pipes that woukld make my bike sound like what it has, &quot;BALLS&quot;.... I know the power is ther i just want to hear it, i also believe in &quot; Loud Pipes Save Lives&quot; i've never work on a bike and will not be working on my new bike anytime soon, the dealer has many recomendation but i take those with a grain of salt as thier motives are diffrent then mines.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #4404 uncle mark (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 23 Re:1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   Hi Yogez, I have V&amp;H long shots, ported manifold, 31 tooth pulley, jetted stock card and BAK air product. All goes sweet together and have done for over 2yrs!!!! Pipes are really loud and have loads of &quot;balls&quot;. However, changing to short pipes as they ground out a bit even with replacement shock spring. And they also cloud the rear wheel etc. Still, I have been happy with the increase in performance, but have plans for winter re-bore and head work etc, so will be changing to 45mm carb, upgrage BAK air intake and new pipes. Good luck and ride safe Uncle Mark (U.K)   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #4411 yogez (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   Thanks, you just gave me something to think about. I wouldn't want to spend the monyey on new pipes then have them get scraped up on turns. I like the Pulley suggestion, but is that also good for long freeway riding? Ported intake is a good idea as well. In which order should I be Modifying the bike?<br><br>Post edited by: yogez, at: 2006/02/15 14:35   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #4412 FauxRider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   I run: V&amp;H long shots Maxair air/jet kit Maxair ASI plugs Performance Dyna 3000 I am looking to port my intake.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #4413 wchenss (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Re:1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   yogez, For an engine to run right you should do exhaust, intake/jets and air filter all at once...then...31 tooth pulley. The 31 tooth pulley is just fine for freeway riding speeds...just gets you there quicker! Good luck and ride safe!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #4416 pharri (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 47 Re:1st mod ??'s 6 Years, 3 Months ago   I run V&amp;H Longshots and love'em. The Longshots works well with the long stride of the bike. Also run Torque cones, they create a louder thump from the Longshots. Also installed a Hypercharger for the increased air intake. Rejetted to 180/40 on the stock carb. AIS removed, all runs real sweet together. Paul   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
