map from dyno, I don't remember the numbers. I get about 38 mpg normal driving.

i'm riding a 90 dyna but the high beam and the horn won't work.the low beam works fine and i replaced the bulb but still no high beam.i want to get the bike inspected but can't do it with theses issues.i looked for pinched wires and the ground seems to be in order same with the switch.
any ideas?

CD, where are we going this year? Labor Day weekend falls between semesters this year, so I'll have no problem making it. BTW..the Las Vegas Review-Journal had an article a couple of Sundays ago about the Parry Lodge in Kanab.

Sleepy, if it's too far to ride this year from Calgary, fly to Las Vegas and ride my FJR. I'm going up to Sacramento 4th of July weekend to ride my RS back to Vegas..so I'll have an extra bike here.

My buddy has a 1997 Softail custom. It's never had any major engine work. It does have a cam, S&S carb and straight pipes.

He began hearing a new noise last weak. It sounds like it is coming from the rear of the primary and sounds like a light knocking. We checked the chain and it doesn't have any excessive slack or anything. We also checked it with a stethescope. It appears to be the loudest on the lowest bolt on the right side of the derby cover.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

I am running a map provided to me by someone running the same mods. It's a modified version of the M807-180 map. This map was modified with minor changes after a recent dyno run. So far it is working pretty good.

Gas Mileage:
15 June - 32mpg (single and 2-up city riding; next should be better since I got the throttle twist syndrome out of my system with the new sound of the SEs. May tweak the 1800-3400 rpm range a little leaner)
