Thanks CD!!! the big sucker on my 02 wide glide makes it run like a scalded dog!!! I did a few plug runs... and as usual got several opinions on rich vs lean(I ended up stopping quickly by my local dealer expert for my own satisfaction) My first pass was a bit lean for me but the power was great!!
(too bad the lean side will get ya in the long run)
I added a little more idle mix screw (factory CV)and away I went again..The mid range pickup is VERY noticable. A fellow rider took off with those "Drag pipes" by the time it hit that little powerband window drags give ya all my mid pickup left him quickly ( Torque Motor power!!)...but the big thing was the less amount of throttle I use at cruising speed!! less effort for the bike to move!!! from just a pair of slip ons (as usual I live and die by those) and that arlen ness big sucker my bike even sounded deeper.
next step oil pressure/temp guages......want them VERY small with a classic look. ANY suggestions? no digital reading styles kinda goes against the simplistics of a harley bike in my opinion.

Sorry, missed this one. Glad it worked out. A Stage I hop up is the biggest bang for the buck you can get usually. After that, cubic $$$ for cubic power.

I have not come across any accurate oil pressure gauges that operate in the proper range. You could run the old style but they are about useless IMHO. What I have set up is a 'T' off of the oil sender with a #3 fitting and capped so I can simply screw on my test gauge. I do a pressure test after every oil change now.

I saw a thread on another forum where someone used a mini temp gauge meant for a Hot Rod and adapted it by using the spare hole plug for the sender. They had modified a tach mount and put it on t he risers. I think it was an Autometer small diameter gauge...
