I just installed V&H dresser duals on my 01 Roadking (CD - thanks for the great service). I have the Screamin Eagle air cleaner kit, and am running wild pig pipes. The bike is running great, but how do I know if it's too lean or not? I'm a little concerned because of all the posts where bikes apparently ran good for a certain amount of time, then lost compression, burned valves, etc.

thanks
scott

EFI or Carb,

You probably are a bit lean, now with the new air filter and better breathing pipes, you should look into adjusting the carb, or getting a powercommander or DFO to add fuel to a EFI bike.

HRK,

Fuel injected, got the H-D ecm flash when I added the stage 1 kit.

thanks
