I'm fed up now!

The first one didn't work, error in loading. No, no starring role for me, but I can see you as the next James Bond, man got skills.
 
What the heck, here I am, did this to send to someone in Sao Paulo who was interested in buying my bike. I still have it, no sale.

GREAT!!

I've since taken off the coolant indicator above the Dakota display because it was looking shabby and weather worn.
 
I just bit the bullet one afternoon and bought a relay and had a length of 24g wire and just cut that for all the connections. Bought some insulated spade conectors to fit on the relay, found a nearby screw on the frame for ground, tied into a wire coming from the + battery and tied in between the original relay conectors where the two halves conect together. Took all of about 15 mins.

The siemens relay came with a metal bracket which handily sloted in between the battery and its metal holding frame.

This was by far and away the most satisfying fix to date, even more so than curing my high idle at turnover due to a gap on the first throttle body from a kinked ring clamp on the intake plenum.

Now I'm still thinking about the triples and removing secondaries, which, to be honest, I haven't totally convinced myself about. I know I have a 1 piece 3-1 exhaust, no cat, no o2, no baffles, 3.5" open can, but it just seems to run so well and I'm not sure what I would really gain from it. Even with my stock air set up and Waynes triples/jars tune from tuneecu, it goes like nothing else and just has some loud popping between 3200-4300rpm which is handy because I know exactly where I am in the rev range when it starts and stops popping.

I guess what I really fear is almost detuning by adding the extra flow of the K&N's and removing secondaries, even though Wayne designed the tune with K&N's in place.

Would love some honest opinions or suggestion to go down that route or actually leave it as it is and stay stock air. Pro's and con's etc.

Oh dear, I'm at it again, someone convince me one way or the other, PLEEAASSEE!!:D

Thanks again.
 
So Rocky,
What is that exhaust system on your Brazil black and white beauty????
Inquiring - need better exhaust - minds needs to know.

BTW - This has been a very interesting thread, thanks.
