I have a 2006 Harley Fatboy fuel injected,with stock harley pipes and mufflers..After riding the bike only 50 miles(bought brand new)the exhaust is turning blue right at the bend by the head.What causes this and how can i clean the pipes up?THANK YOU

I have a 2004 Fatboy and I am about to install V&H Bigshot Staggerds,It says to replace the factory exhaust donut gasket,however it seems that either the factory ones are either gone or crushed ,either way I can't even see them to remove them I am fairly mechanically inclined but this one has me baffled(no pun intended) So are they actually there and crushed or what ?

Does anybody have a good guess at what the EPA is gona do to the laws in california? I just bought A brand new Road Glide and want to get all the power I possibly can out of it. (at least 120 pounds of touqe, or so)

I am using Map M807-180 (Reads 05 model V&H True Duals with oval slip-ons, Stage 1 ECU and Screamin Eagle Air Filter) on my 2003 FLHT. Bike runs ok. I biggest probelm is still getting decel pop. At idle when I give a quick throttle up to 3000 I get the decel pop. The higher I go the more decel pop.

It is a new install and haven't done alot of riding. Should I try a different map? This is the closest I could find to my setup.

My Setup:
2003 FLHT
V&H OVALS
V&H True Duals
Stage 1
High Flow Air Filter

Do any of you laced wheel riders have issues with your back wheel spokes?? I have had nothing but trouble ... loose, broken, etc. At this point I am considering the expensive option of custom wheels but before I drop the coin I wanted to know if there were any words of wisdom on the sharp looking but troublesome laced wheels. I ride a RK Classic and have thought about putting a solid disk on the back only ... heck, you don't really see that wheel anyway.
