I removed my tank, put 1/4-inch nuts (110 of them), and water. Shook it to death, drained it, over-and-over again. I shine a light in the holes (cap, petcock) and I still see lots of rust that I doubt I will ever able to get all of it. Is there a place that can clean it? (without acid and without damaging paint!)

Anyone know where you can find the new "quiet" baffles for the Bigshots Staggered. I know they are on backorder but have seen some posts where guys have found them in stock. They are supposed to be available Aug 20 but each time the delivery date gets close, its pushed back. My wife says if I dont quiet this thing down she's leaving me (hehehehe...maybe thats a plus) and the neighbors say they are gonna lynch me. I like the sound, but from what I have read the new baffles sound great without a lot of the decibels.........Thanks in advance for any help

Howdy, y'alls!

Learned quite a bit from reading some of the posts but now I have my own problem. I'm riding a 2003 HD Electra Glide Classic with Stage II 95 ci big bore kit which was installed even before I picked up the bike new.
I know that the Stage II kit includes some stiffer clutch springs but it is getting really bothersome. I lost the clutch cable at 9500 miles (snapped right off at the eye lid where the cable is welded on) and got it replaced on warranty. After that (until they did the next service), the clutch pull was way easier. Ever since then (I am now close to 20K), I needed more and more force to pull in the clutch. I am usually doing my own maintenance (2500 and 5000) and follow the maintenance manual religiously.
I lubed the cable (as much as possible as it seems...

I have an 2003 FLHT caberated bike. When I get to about 100 miles on the tank it will start cough. If I crank back on the throttle it will clear it temporarily. Once I fill up it's goes away. Is there junk in my tank? How do I fix this?

I have a 1200 sporty and am putting on drag pipes with some performance baffles.
Any ideas for a jet kit or what jets to use to re-cal the carb?

Thanks.
