Has anyone installed the new baffles for the Vance and Hines big shots?? If so, what kind of sound did you get??

As in the title I've got an FXWG, I'm looking to extend the front forks. I'm looking at a triple tree set that has a 4 degree extended rake. I need to know if this set up is ok to install, if I can expect any wobble out of the front end etc.. also what length do I need to extend the front forks to keep the cycle's front end level. I know theres a formula for it but I can't find any tech facts on it.

What do you think of Roller rockers, S&S? Are they worth the change-out?

Heh guys, who's up on Sportster pipes? I get an '04 Roadster model with forward controls. Before delivery I had the dealer install Screamin' Eagle carb unit anticipating a later-pipes purchase.

Now, I'm up in the air as to which brand and style to get. I'd like a mid-level volume (up tight neighborhood) but a purring, sweet tone to match my saxophonist's ears. I'll have a pro install them. Just trying to get some solid recommendations; I don't want the Sportster to emulate a tricked-out chopper, but would love a better "harley" sound.

Your ideas are greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

I have a 96 FLHR with an Evo. Engine mods are the heads have been milled bigger cam, roller rockers and adjustable pushrods. Recently I started getting a real lowd tapping noise down low after the engine was hot. After research and alot of asking around I replaced the pinion gear to the next size bigger. It worked great for about 2 months and now it is making the same tapping noise again. If anyone has any idea why it started again I would greatly appriciate it.

thanks REX
