more power for my Sportster
more power for my Sportster
I have been playing with the idea of a 1200 conversion on my 883C, but have been dragging my feet about it. It goes plenty fast for me, but I want more power on the hills and and things like that. I have straight drag pipes on my bike. My friend who owns Outlaw Choppers suggested that I put in some baffles to create some back pressure and give me more power. He ordered some, and we tried them out. They were longer ones, and when I rode with them in, I felt like my engine had been replaced with a sewing machine engine. It was pretty sad. So we got rid of those and he ordered some short ones. At first when I tried it, I was not impressed with it. He took a screwdriver and bore down the middle of it so that there was a bigger hole allowing for better air flow through. This is perfect. I still have the sound that I want,and there is noticably more power there. Really happy with the difference. Going to go on a longer ride to Lincoln, Mt. (home of the Unibomber) tomorrow morning. Looking forward to seeing how she does on the big hills and over Rogers Pass.

RE: more power for my Sportster
It looks like your friend saved you a ton of money.
If your happy how it runs. Then theres no need to
to do an up grade.
With all the money you saved, you shouldbuy your best friend a
luggage rack for his bike. BTW he has an07Street Glide
