I know a couple of other people ordered when I did. It was about a three week wait, like they said.

I think the pipes sound incredible, a beautiful low, sloppy tone, nice pops are decceleration (can anyone explain to me what causes that?). A modest power boost, IMHO. This is my first mod, now to hit the air filter. I also opened up the pilot screws to 3 turns.

Actually, after a few days now, more than just a modest power boost. They're great.

Popping noise is from the AI system. I had the same problem with my Specialty Spares until the AI was removed. Hope this helps. Ride safe.

Thanks Bob. I have to say that I kinda like the little pops on decel. Sounds like she is growling

No. I thought I'd make that a winter project. I'm a bit spooked to get into the carbs.

CTN,
have charlie or another of the locals come over this winter and help you out with the jetting. It really is an easy job and well worth doing.

Thanks Pat.

Hey Charlie, did I ever mention that my wife makes a mean meatloaf?
