Welcome to the forum. Nice looking bike. Looks pretty darn clean from the pic. Guess the only thing I would question are what looks like straight pipes (no baffles or mufflers in them). There are those that swear by them but I think you lose some in performance not having any back pressure.

There is a screen type baffel in there,going to change them out at some point I would like to add a kicker to it. Pic shows stock carb (bendex) I just orderd a s&s seems like they work well on a shovel.Never put one on before,any tips? Also will the s&s air cleaner cover that came it fit the flh? I ordered it from j&p cycles. thanks joe

the carb install is straight forward too(watch/check for intake leaks). It will come with instructions (and they are also available on the J&P website). The challenge will be jetting it to meet your bikes requirements. There are jetting guidlines in the instructions but you will still need to experiment and fine tune

75HD...Go to www.sscycle.com This is the home page for S&S Cycle. They have a technical section that contains the instruction sheets for all their products, including carbs and also a carb quick guide.
