So fresh... not super clean though.

FXR button up time this week. Out with the old in with the new.
The exhaust that came on it was less than ghetto. It was some shitty vance and hines ripoff pipes. So me being an all time eBay expert I found a dirty fucked up supertrapp exhaust. With a little cutting and little welding, I got that fucker to fit right up.
Then on to the Mikuni carb. I know Brandon and Andy sing the Mikuni praises but this thing was wack in all areas. So i got a Super E for it. But while was pulling off the old carb i realized that the gaskets for the manifold were torn to all hell... Maybe thats why it was acting like a prude on prom night. But im not a mechanic.

Well hopefully this thing can make it all the way to mexico next time.

I actually agree that a Mikuni shouldn't be on a Harley......its like giving an iPhone to your grandma.

Actually Brandon the iPhone and it's subsequent iOS 4.0 software are both innovative and intuitive thus being a perfect way for the elderly to communicate with todays electronic world.

Who cares about the elderly... I am talking about the ability to actually tune the mid range......
