Today is the Day

There is a heavier spring that can be put even into the new oil pump to give it a little better oil pressure.

Unless it's not pumping oil, why?

Its a waste of good money JMO, if it makes you feel good great
but really, it's a waste of money that could go to more go fast parts.

JB,, ya need to take advice on the inner net
a little easier, it's nobody telling you that you are
doing dumb things but consider this.

You are young, on your second HD.

I'm on my 5th HD in the past 10 years
Dropped a ton of cash in all of them but
this last one.

Turned an evo 80 into a hot rod evo 80, heads, pistons, cams, tuner,
intake all on a 97 EVO MM EFI system bike, talk about "cutting edge" lol

Took my 88 Heritage from 88 to 95, to 116 to 124, this weekend I found
the bag with receipts for 10 years of stuff NOT including the 116 and up
costs, lets just say I could be taking the year off ......

09 RG- Built it to a 106

Add Phills 88 to 95 inch conversion on his 01 Ultra, I built a hot 103 for Mac, a very nice with Kirbys heads 106 Ultra, and we'll not consider Dougs Evo 113 Valdez, that's like doing a 100 bikes....

Anyway I've paid the dues, you are welcome to write that check as well, we can
sit back, watch and just see what happens, or, maybe toss you a bone about things
plus or minus, you just need to read them with less of a personal interest.

Try reading them as if you were reading about someone elses question, not your own, then they will seem different...

So here's my two cent's

Take what Kirby told you, don't change it,
and buy it as your budget allows (next time stay home and sell the car parts)

As to the note, well, if you live your life on what if's you'll never get
anything done. But that's JMO.... I wouldn't worry about the
what if I loose it in a poker game or job problem.. You still got the sporty
to ride. If it goes, it goes, e'ff it.. you can get another...

Fix it like you like it and ride the snot out of it and don't go overboard
so you're always fixing your fixes.... That is the Valdez, the helicopter of
bikes, 20 minutes of fly time, 4 days of work...

As far as the Rebel against authority issue (AKA woods)
the point of the dyno was to show you what a great TQ curve looks
like and why timing on a cam does what it does, not to make you get a tw-6H
but to show you why timing creates the event, and how lift (.590) and duration (240)
can peak the power up there.

you'll never notice the extra .015 until you crack it.

Actually what makes the 6H so good is not just the .590
but the 240 duration.

Your bike is what an earlier 2000 something twinkie?

One issue on high lift cams over say .600ish is room in the cases
so if you are going to install it be sure you don't go so high your cam lobes
cause you to start grinding inside the cases. Macs 103 was like that
not a ton of room

Later TC cases they changed the casting in the cam chest and going
big isn't a problem...

BTW I rant tw-9b cams in my 166 and SNS 640's in my 124.

Good post Bob, I remember your Dyna, sure had the power but seems you were working on it a lot and a lot of money went into it. I to have spent money trying to get that ultimate power out of my Harley's to the point now I just want to ride and enjoy. This will be the first bike that I will not do any engine mods to. Exhaust yes but nothing else. I even put the stock mufflers back on after I got rid of the cat and it really didn't sound to bad. I think we all when we first started out had to have the baddest bike in town so to speak. It changes with time though.

FL yep that's true, btw if you have the stock cvo cans on the bagger
I suggest you call Steve at fullsac and order the mid size baffles, it's not louder, it does
breath better and will have a nice deep tone.

Tell them you are a member of the cvo board and get 10% off. it's a bolt in (well you do have
to grind a few welds and drill a hole)

My neighbor did the same as you and finally did the baffles and he
hates the loud pipes as well and loves the change.

What we did was put the 2.25 in the right and 2 in the left, makes it a
poor mans 2-1 so it can breath better on one side.

Still can hear the cb, radio and won't wake the neighbors

You can do it in the garage yourself, swapping the baffles..

Fullsac Performance - CVO Muffler Cores - Lake Havasu City, AZ

get the 2's you'll love them they are exactly what the pipes should have been.

I have the V&H 4 inch rounds back on now but what a difference in sound with the cat out. Night and day. So how hard to get the stock CVO cores out?

Easy, you remove the end caps which have three Allen bolts
holding each in.

Inside you will see the baffle, it will have two spot welds, I take a dremel with a cutting wheel and grind it out, taking my time, don't want to cut through the body of the muffler.

Once the welds are ground down take a wooden pole or metal pole (like a bar from lowes/home depot) and shove down the inlet pipe of the muffler and hit it with a dead
blow hammer or rubber mallet, it will drive the baffle out on the two sets I've
done the wrapping stays in the muffler body.

Drill a hole in the bottom for the retaining nut for the new baffle, they give the
instructions on where. I just tapped a starting point with an awl and used a non
wandering drill bit,

Insert the new baffle, found that it takes a little wiggle but it will
seat right in the muffler and line right up, run the bolt and nut on and put on the cap

Thats it. not hard at all.

After I posted the question I noticed the instructions on their site so looked at it. Yep, same instructions and does not look all that difficult. But thanks good to know it works. I got a Nano with the bike and loaded it with music so don't want loud pipes drowning it out.
I have taken other stock HD mufflers and removed the baffles in years past. Some were a bit harder and one I had to cut the baffle in half after removing it to get to the welded in restrictions then weld it back together. That was to much work and then they were straight through and left me with no back pressure. Their baffles look pretty good. Wished I would have known they were in AZ might have stopped by when we were there last month.

Yeah they probably would have done it for you
while you sipped a nice cold beverage watching LOL

They are good quality, fit perfect no fiddling around
and the company is good..

Go over to the CVO board and ask about them.
