You don't mention what year your bike is, or if it has a carb or is EFI. In any event, Harleys since the late 80s have a sealed idle adjuster, so we can't mess with them! That is to comply with EPA emissions regulations. On a carb there is a workaround, but I'm not sure about EFI.

Is this what you mean? I've thought of adding one too.

I have one on my 00 and can't get to it without burning my fingers, there is just not enough room because of the cross over pipe....I am thinking of putting a piece of 3/8 rubber tubing over it about 6 inches long that I can use to turn it from farther away...

Seems like a good idea, but you don't really adjust the mixture once you have it dialed in. A lot of money for something you already have a way to adjust. Also, if you have a crossover pipe, it's still in a very hot area.

I guess I was a little vague,
I'm talking about the **** sticking out the top of the carb in this crazyorange video:

I believe it would be something along the lines of this:

And for the record I've got a '92 - which of course has a carb.

The debrix part you reference. is for the Big Twin carb, not sure it is the same as the XL. In your video, it looks like it might be a choke **** (carb enrichener). I've got a 1991, so it's the same carb as you have.
