I think so.. If you ain't screwing with the with the fuel rail why fix it? I can see using a new fuel line but only if you ever disconnect it.. Maybe he's not pushing it on hard enough? Aluminum gives better harmonics?

Why do these YouTube people talk so ****ing much? I quit watching at 3 minutes when nothing of any substance was said. Get to the ****ing point.

Yes, I completely agree.

They do that because once a video goes over a certain length it's monetized and the channel can start generating revenue thru ads. I think 10 min is the benchmark. I never see any ads tho, ad blockers rule.

All my vids are shorter than 10 min, and I couldn't care less about making money off my shitty videos.

Thanks, I learned something today.

Then I went to the S&S website to look for myself. Seems to be yet another S&S product offering that is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. If it did exist, it would have been repeatedly discussed here, and I haven't seen a word about it.

It's indeed clickbait. 🤣

First clue it's clickbait is saying "not clickbait" in the title. Kind of like "reality" tv shows.

Thanks Max. Baxter has been working on these M8's since they came out in 2017 and I find the dude interesting. He's not pushing the S&S fuel rail, he's just making us aware of a problem that he has witnessed and can replicate. We are talking about a plastic connection point on the fuel hose that MOCO changed to metal, that should be a hint that something was not right. Why would HD make the change otherwise, they will save a nickle on any part on the production line if they can.

This guy just likes to hear his own voice. Pass on his content all the time due to the long winded never to the point bs, too many teasers and show boat grand standing. Better sources out there and less annoying

The longer that you watch the more that their stats go up. Like others, if they're not getting to the point quickly enough, bye bye.
