Default Deleting iac
Seen this photo of a 2009 sportster. Appears that the iac has been deleted and/or replaced. How is this possible?

Huh... That's a trip right there, for sure.

What's the backstory on that bike? Where'd you get the pic from?

Seems like a pretty common practice in the automotive world...

Looks like an adjustment **** that will control the idle speed manually. Seems some folks have installed it to get a loping sound out of an engine at, say 700-800 rpms, when the rpm is typically 950-1000 rpms.

Some people like to get that old panhead loping sound.........getting your idle down to 600-700 RPM at idle is a engine killer!!
