He didn't say the exhaust and air filter gave him 34-40 hp, but that sure is what YOU read

SS = Shotgun Shock, btw.

[QUOTE=BMM48;13336696]Thanks dude. I like the Dakota speedo. The all black looks the goods and will look even better when they are in the black CVO risers next week. The red display is easy to read and all the info is clear and simple. Tacho works well and there is a lot of info readily available. Dims at night too. Basically, it's well priced, looks good (just my opinion of course!) and has all the info I could need.

I have also opted for the Woods 222 and they will go in next week once I have my new map from FM. Have you changed the cams?


Cool I have the woods 777,and love it! Enjoy it

Ok, I see. I read "SS" as "SE". Skimming too fast I guess.

Ahhh! Now I get it ! That's the reason why people stall their engines sometimes...heavy tires


To improve your dyno results you could fill your tires with helium which is much lighter than air

BMM48, what headlight bezel is that? I've searched for a black 5 3/4" inch visor styled bezel and haven't found anything that looks like it would fit correctly. I'd even settle for a chrome one that I can powdercoat.

It is the HD one that I had powdercoated. There is a gap of maybe half an inch at the base of it where you have the nut and bolt but it doesnt detract from it. I can try and find the part number when I get home tonight if that helps.

If you were going to go this way I´d recommend finding a decent powdercoater as I had about 15 different things powdercoated and the only thing they had some issues with doing was the headlight trim. It came out very good but apparently it wasn´t an easy thing to do.

It looks good, but I personally like having a needle for my tach.
