Default RE: MY CUSTOM FATTY

OK just came back from the motorcycle shop....
i am just not sold on reinhart pipes....lots of vibration..i was told that is normal with those pipes...
they were checked thouroughly...who knows...

i just had installed a high performance FORCEWINDER airfilter...

BEFORE I START WHAT WHAT I THINK..ANYONE ELSE IN MY BOAT?
remember i have a 99 fatboy which is the evo carb engine....dont know if that makes any difference...
here is a pic of my bike with the forcewinder...sorry for the bad pic..it was taken with my cellphone
i used a kurakyn breather kit with a small filter on the back side of the breather and not a rubber hose...if you know these then you will know what i am talking about.

i would love your comments before i tell you mine

Welcome to the forums

Great looking bike! I wish I had a tank like that on my 04Fatboy.

A friend of mine was having similar problems with his Bub pipes, he went through 3 sets.
However, what actually fixed the problem was a new breather system and re-jetting his carb.
