Default Hey ya'll........

Pardon the accent, force of habit. I've been lurking for a while and decided to go ahead and jump in, the water seems fine. From what i've seen so far this place is a wealth of knowledge and help for the Harley enthusiast. Anyway, I'm in SW Missouri, my bike is a 2004 Road King Custom EFI. I'm in the process of installing a Stage 1 breather, Vance & Hines slash cut classics w/ billet tips. I'm still trying to make up my mind on the EFI controller. I've been riding street bikes since 1983. I got my first Ironhead sportster in 1993, another in 1995, I built 1 into a Paughco framed chopper, then I got tired of having to "swallow my kidneys back down after 30 miles" so I sold all the sportys and got the Road King.... All I can say is aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the term "smooth & soft" doesn't even come close. Oh well, thats me and my world, I'm sure i'll be buggin' the heck out of all of ya with ?'s.
Be safe, be smart and have fun,
chopt

Welcome from Maine. I own a 2005 RK and just installed SE pro exhausts. Ive had no problems with popping or weak spots but, I do plan on installing a SE race fueler just in case the motor tends to run a bit lean. I got real lucky and found a race fueler on Ebay for less than half cost just yesterday. It is suppose to be brand new. Wish me luck!
