Apart from the #48 idle jet and the 200 main that was it. Not sure if any of that was needed but I changed to a K&N filter element at the same time.

We don't know where ours comes from, they say this and that, but we don't know.

Our 93 over here is most likely the same exact stuff as 87 ran through a filter.

Sorry to shout but you can't go around giving out advice on these forums that simply isn't true.

I've been doing this for 35 years and whereas I don't know everything...I know BS when I read it
Hope it is ok to ask this question.....Can I put a new set of Jims Billet Blocks & Lifters in my 91 Ultra without worrying about clearance issues?
Ive already bought them and they are listed as suitable for my bike.
Just thought Id double check. Bungo

Well put! Plus, it is nice carrying around a screwdriver, some electrical tape, and needle nose plyers and being able to get home no matter what the issue may be.

Well, I carry a little more than that, but point taken. When my adjustable pushrods let loose and I had to fix it in a park, some city workers were there and they said "you can do that here?" Yup, I can take the top end off if I need to!
