    Hello Everyone, just checking in and saying hello. I have been very busy with work and planning vacations.

    This is the time of year that I try and get all of the stuff 5gat my bike needs Don completed but haven't had much opportunity to get started yet. Not a lot is needed this year, just a new choke cable, new exhaust and to diagnose an oil pressure gauge issue. Pretty straight forward.

    Thanks for looking.

    Thanks. Working a funky schedule at work for awhile plus working a bunch of overtime. I have what I need to get the work done except for the time.

    What is it that you are wishing for?

    I guess it's up to you which cam you want and all that happy jazz. Just me, I would never use an HD cam.

    The cam cover the chrome peeled off when the engine sat on the floor of the garage and o-rings for the oil lines oil is leaking for them a little bit.

    Overtime is way better than NO time, being in a place where that is an option in this day and age is a good thing.

    I agree. This overtime is paying for a bunch of fun things so I won't complain all that much about it. There are plenty of places around here that are having overtime.

    On the original subject, I am a little nervous about switching my exhaust. I love the sound of my bike but from t g e advice from a couple of different people, I decided to give this system a try. Should be better performance. We'll see I guess.

    I currently have the Vance and Hines Dresser Duals (True Duals) on. I purchased a set Khrome Werks 2-1-2 EFI compatible pipes for when I build a new engine and convert to EFI. The pipes are the same as the S&S Power Tune pipes.

    True duals are not bad but harder to tune, buddy has them with supertrapps took Doc two days to get the thing worked out. If you go true duals the Reinhart pipes have better headers, V&H are a bit restrictive.
