    They look like Harley mufflers. The ones ihave have different styles tips that you can install
  2. foundryratjim
    I have had these mufflers on for 3 seasons and would like to repack the fiberglass in them, assuming there is some. I tried to pull the baffle out the back of the muffler, it will turn but it will only come so far. Anyone had the same problem?

    Did you just use the contact cement on the edges or on the whole lid? I am just thinking about down the road if you need to remove them for some reason.

    I just put a set of these on my RSTD. It takes some patience to put them on, but they look nice when done! http://stores.shop.ebay.com/TS-Custom-Leather__W0QQ_armrsZ1

    Interesting, i have used them years ago..(early 70's) on my dirt bikes. Chrome covers? On my 06 rstd the filters are behind a plastic housing.

    When you installed them you did you have to rejet your carbs or remap your fuel injection?
  7. foundryratjim
    Are K&N filters really worth the $100 cost? Do you gain any performance or gas mileage?. I know they are lifetime filters. I haven't priced the stock ones yet. I am running a Dyna 3000 ingnition module and Kromeworks Mufflers. My (2006) bike really runs good with this setup. I have almost 12,000 miles on it.

    You might check and see if you have a float hanging up in one of the carbs.

    Try Protectall.. R/V supply stores or Wal-Mart in with the R/V supplies. $8.00 a bottle.

    I have the Mustang set on mine and love it, i'm 6' 2 1/2" and 300 also. It took a couple thosand miles to get broke in. There might be other good ones out there but the mustang works for me.

    Yes i have an 06 rstd. I bought the Dyna from Barons. I removed the AIS units and plugged off the hoses. The dyna has options to increase the rev limiter and change the spark curve. Jim =pop216;108814]Foundryratjim, Do you have an 06 RSTD? Where did you find the Dyna 3000 ignition module? All the ones I see are for up to 2002 Venture, will these fit? Also, When you plugged the AIS did you do it inline or did you actually remove it and plug it at the V. Back to the Dyna 3000, did this increase your rev-limiter or did it just advance the timing? Again, Any info would help. Pedro

    Well for what it is worth. I put a set of Mufflers from Kromeworks on mine. I plugged off the AIS system and richened up my idle mixture. This took care of about 90% of the popping on decelleration. I installed a Dyna 3000 ignition module and am currently running the #3 spark curve. This eliminated all of the popping and the engine seems to run much smoother at 65 to 75 mph. I haven't had it in long enough to get a good read on if the gas mileage has changed. The information i have got from members of this site has been very helpful. I love the bike, its probably the best bike i have ever owned except for 75 750 BMW I used to own. I just wish Yamaha could get rid of the "whine".

    What was the reason they would not cover this under the warranty?
  14. foundryratjim
    Backing out the mixture screws did make a difference and elinated almost all of the back firing. I have since installed a Dyna ignition module and all the backfiring has disappeared. The engine seems to be running smother with the new mudule. I had to lower the idle speed though and it seems to be more cold blooded than before.
  15. foundryratjim
    I didn't realize what i was looking at....... Duh! Adjusted them. Will test ride tomorrow and post if it made a difference.
  16. foundryratjim
    Read the threads about adjusting the pilot circuit mixture screws.
  17. foundryratjim
    My 2006 does not have mixture, at least that i can see. Ihave taken the tank and intake plenum off and cannot see any. If you have an 2006 and can take a picture of where they are at i would appreciate it.I think they have changed the carbs on the newer bikes. Ihave a service manual and it does not show them on the exploded diagram either. Jim

    I just installed a set of links that i made from info froum this group and they do work great!!!!!
  19. foundryratjim
    Just installed a set of those foam slip over grips and they work great!!
  20. foundryratjim
    I would like to install some larger diameter (fatter) hand grips. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
  21. foundryratjim
    Got the bike bake with the new y-pipes. Seems that most of the popping on decel is gone but not all.
  22. foundryratjim
    I also have a 2006 rstd. I do not believe that it has the adjustments you spesk of. They may only be on the older style engines.
  23. foundryratjim
    What is the appropriat air pump for the rear shock?
  24. foundryratjim
    Here they are. As you can see the part i made is a lot longer. It was made using heat and a vise.
  25. foundryratjim
    Yes, i will try to have it up by the end of the weekend.
