    Carpenter Racing (seriously considering the 240 hp upgrade package)

    Build you a bracket and mount a K&N with fake pluming going under the tank. That way you will have the look and you already have the HP. A bunch of guys do it with NOS tanks and lines going nowhere, I seen very few that work on street bikes.

    Carpenter Racing (seriously considering the 240 hp upgrade package)

    I only get apx. 33 mpg on my Rocket and 24 when I get a wild hair. I have Jardines on rocket but I did a lot of grinding to come close to matching the exhaust ports. Not sure if all their headers come like mine, the welds were huge inside of all the exhaust tubes. My Tune is Mr. Wayne Tripps...

    CAT Delete/TORS

    Hanso The best and fastest way to get your eye back is to do aluminum...take just a flat plate and start to make your puddles..Using alum allows you to weld over other the last welds you made with having to brush and clean the welding surface.. Getting the hang of puddles and feeding the rod...

    Exhaust setup and tune questions

    BBR.... The absolute last thing I would do to a new Rocket III is put it on a Dyno...for a complete tune:eek: Maybe a base line torque and hp dyno run after a few 1000 miles would be OK But to watch one of the best tuners in the country work for 1 to 1 1/2 hours on getting everything out...
