  1. Momentary voltage drop? / check engine light

    The cost of a voltmeter is relatively inexpensive and has so many uses both on your vehicles and around the home, it's hard to be without one.
  2. Relocating Coolant Tank - Left side details

    There should be several articles on here mounting a stainless round tank. At one time I think Mittzy posted some articles and was selling a stainless tank. You can also buy stainless tanks on Amazon and mount to left side crash bar.
  3. Bigger Headers on 2.5

    I remember an episode or two on Engine Masters where they were comparing factory exhaust against several header mfgs. on dyno tests, and factory results were well below all the headers. On our bikes I agree that with a header the heat goes up against the right leg, but it's a small price to pay...
  4. Bigger Headers on 2.5

    If you have restrictions in the exhaust, there is no way to get the spent gases out and full intake charge in. All air filters don't flow the same cfm's and all exhausts don't flow the same.
  5. Bigger Headers on 2.5

    To me just looking at the pictures, I feel the Carpender header would flow better with less obstructions, the way the pipes blend together.
  6. Bigger Headers on 2.5

    Can't make more power without being able to get it out, and after changing exhaust a trip to a good dyno man is necessary, he will adjust fuel and timing required.

    Wouldn't expect anything less. Congrats on a good ride.
  8. Rocket owners average age!

    And you're still operating a business, congratulations.

  11. 215hp street build

    It's all good
  12. 215hp street build

    Got a smooth sound, waiting for full bore pull.
  13. Oil Filter to prefill or not

    Make sure the o-ring on the middle sump drain is good, if this gets cut or comes off, oil will drain from the tank into the sump.
  14. Gearbox problems

    Problem was corrected several years ago, but mistakes/accidents can happen. If you've ridden the bike this long, I wouldn't worry about it.
