thanks, I have had two road stars and really enjoy the bike. Hopefully, someday I can get a nice paint job.

Thanks for all the good advice..

No you don't need to rejet. You may, but I doubt it, have to adjust your PMS. But ride it for a while and see how it runs.


Curious, Musky......My PO put the Longshots on my bike and I know he said that he had it rejetted (I believe he said the next larger size). Do you think his choice was 'overkill'? Again, I'm not much of a wrench turner and I haven't had the bike long.....but it does seem to 'struggle' to idle and runs with much more vibration thru the floorboards than I ever felt on my Warrior. I assume the filter is stock (the cover is), but I guess I should check that as well.

Thanks

Yup. The 1700's are plenty rich stock. It helps to lean them out just a tad putting on pipes. You for sure don't need to go bigger. What else did they change? Needle? Pilot? What are the settings if they did change more than the main?
