#5816 vegasdave (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 782 New Pipes new carb,just acouple of Questions 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Just had a set of dooleys from Road house and a thunder Mfg. K&amp;N tear drop set up installed.Dealer had a hard Time getting the left side pipe right.(did it myself when I got it home.When warmed up proper idles good(still have to Choke on start up),power seems a little higher up the RPM curve(slight hesitation right before it hits) and it don`t sputter when it gets toward a hundred.But my gas milage has gone through the roof,even with me and the wife onboard getting 43 to 45 mpg.And like fifty with just me.Know this sound great I just want to make sure I`m not running to lean and hurting the engine.What do ya`ll think?? Drying to find out what the settings are from the Dealer. I forgot pipes sound great!!!!!!!<br><br>Post edited by: vegasdave, at: 2006/05/20 19:41   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #5817 tbpdog12 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 34 Re:New Pipes new carb,just acouple of Questions 2 Years, 7 Months ago   did you jett your carbs?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #5819 vegasdave (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 782 Re:New Pipes new carb,just acouple of Questions 2 Years, 7 Months ago   No dog, had a dealer do it.Wasn`t crazy about a couple of things that went on with the project.Have bought a DynoJet stage 1&amp;@ kit for my 06 and if I do have to make any changes plan on doing them myself.Should have in the first place. Have printed al the info on the carb section.This Place is great,I`m a good maintenance man,just not A mechanic.   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #5820 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11041 Re:New Pipes new carb,just acouple of Questions 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Sounds good to me. Ride it for a while. Rub your finger inside your pipes and check the plugs in a week or so. Should give you an indication on how lean you think you are.
