Bike Talk motorcycle forum

I have a 1500 intruder that I drilled out the stock pipes to get some sound out of the bike....got a mellow tone but the bike only runs with the choke all the way out...pipes are turning blue...

I need a new exhaust system that has a mellow sound and NEW JETS.

Any suggestions as to GOOD sounding pipes???????????

how do you know when primary is full and what oil do you use

I bought a pair of the Samson Rip Saw pipes for my 2002 FXSTBI from the Big Gun series a long time ago. I also went with the SE air cleaner and had the dealer install the Stage 1 download. I noticed a dramatic decrease in the low end and mid range since putting the pipes on and finally want to correct it. I have also noticed the rear cylinder is running lean (excessive bluing on the rear pipe only) but have heard little "lean pop". I have a few questions. Will I benefit from installing the Dyno Power Commander and mapping it myself to correct these issues (even being inexperienced with mapping, i.e. is it user friendly for someone who has been tinkering with carbs for 10 years)? To correct the loss in the low and mid range, will the performance rings help or would the shortie baffles or...

Hey all, Need a silly question answered. Gonna put apes on my Duece (03') and I'm wondering how long of cables to get and where to measure from and to. Single front disc. Stock CV Carb. Thanks Skully
