As I have mentioned, I do believe that the days for my Sportster in its current configuration is nearing the end. I have been considering many things for its transformation and one of the things that I have been looking at is installing a kicker, however, I know that one thing that I will be doing to my Sportster is making the engine bigger, exactly how much bigger, I am not sure just yet.

My questions are these, since I like compression, can I use compression releases along with the kicker or will that just be a pain in the asss? My second question is, I don't have to run points with a kicker do I? I should still be able to maintain the electronic ignition right?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi all. Thought I would bring you up to date on my situation. The chemo has stoppped working so we're moving to the next thing - T.A.C.E. (Trans Arterial Chemo Embolization). I will have two treatments the first one will be this friday and the 2nd will be the following friday. There's some good clips on youtube about it. It's cutting edge technology and has only been in use a few years. It will be done here in Bristol so that's good not to have to travel somewhere. I'll stay overnight and come home Saturday then will be able to return to work on Tuesday. In the procedure, they thread a small catheter up a leg artery to the artery to the liver. Then they squirt microscopic beads laced with a chemo agent (they are going to you rubrobycin on me) into each tumor artery until they...

Here is what im working with 2003 XLX 883 Wiseco jugs and 1200 pistons 9.5 to1 compression, Andrews N2 cams .465, Crane cam coil, Screaming eagle 10 mm plug wires and plugs, drag pipes with turbo cones, turboulator in the intake, S&s high flow intake, 45 and 185 jets. Ok now if I run around town no problems runs good runs great on the highway. Now when I come off of the highway back onto the streets bike runs like crap loss of power. It will run like that for a few miles and then back to running good. I checked the plugs looked good it acts like its loading up gas on the highway and flooding when going back to the streets. Does anyone out there have a direction to point me? Oh also I backed the jets down from 48 and...
