I have a 94 FXDS-CON with stock trees. On the rear, I have Progressive Suspension at which are adjustable. I have them set to the lowest setting in which, I know, throws my trail off. I am looking to get some trees that are raked 5 degrees (that's about how much I've lowered the rear). I also know about the front end wobbles at high speeds when you change the rake but not the trail. What I'm trying to achieve is a lower, longer look without the $$$ for frame work or replacement. I guess what I'm asking is whether it is semi-"safe" to go with raked trees since my trail has been altered?

I would like to ask about what is the best jetting for and s&s super e carb on 8o inch stock shovelhead motor. thanks butch1

I have ordered a 05 flstf and want to put a set of vance & hines big radius on the bike, with a stage 1 kit. Does anyone have this system and if so are there any gains in hp/tourqe?

Have a friend with w 113 el bruto in a 98 RK

Wants to run true duals, has a set of hooker tuneable slip ons

Whose headers would you buy,

V&H
Hooker (do they have two sets one for larger?)
If so will the larger hookers fit the hooker slip ons.

Bassani.

No reinharts as you can't use other slip ons.

Does anyone have an idea what gas mileage will be on, say, a Softtail 88TCB after a Stage 1 upgrade, vs stock? Average mileage right now is 51 mpg. With Vance & Hines pipes, Ness Big Sucker and a rejet, what am I looking at? I'm figurig it will run richer to some extent, so I would expect some loss in fuel economy - certainly a reasonable trade-off for better performance.
