If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Too early to tell. Actually, the plugs look good for what little time I ran it. I used Sudco's baseline settings for a GS1100, but I am at 5200 ft. so probably a little rich...but maybe not with the mods. Plus I haven't even touched an air screw or synched. Better to be rich than lean, especially during it's break-in period.
Roger that!! I wouldnt worry about fine tuning it down a notch till at least the first 750 or so are on the clocks. Give the rings and valves time to settle in comfortably. I prefer just a tad rich myself..always worried about frying a valve under a too lean condition..

So are we to understand your intention is to run this bike sans baffle?

Do you think I could get away with it?
Get away with it in what regard Bruce? As in not getting busted by the cops, or in not annoying people within earshot?

Both! I'll just tell the cops the baffle fell out a few miles back. :lol:
Dont say that!! Barney may ask you why you didnt stop and pick it up if you knew it fell, out and write you a littering ticket as well. When it comes to cops..less is more in your favor!!

I guess it depends on how many Harley's run around your neck of the woods. Up here in WNY I ran an open V+H for years and never got pulled over for that particular violation. Whichever way you decide, that is a sweet ride.

LOTS of Harleys here. We have Street Vibrations, which is the 4th largest Harley gathering in the U.S. The cops "turn a deaf ear" to most everything during that event because of the revenue it brings.
I'll eventually get some kind of baffle made up for the pipe, or have something made like russer did.

Well I got the leaks fixed, carbs synched, and ready to put the tank and body parts back on a go for a ride! Got the fuel sending unit installed, put the stock petcock back on and carefully started puting the tank back on the frame. Guess what? The stock petcock hits the VM33's and can't be used. 
No one ever told me that, nor have I ever seen that mentioned anywhere. Oh, well. No riding for me.

Can you remove the inner rubber washer and allow the tank to be moved up in the back just abit to accommadate the differences? And maybe add abit more cushion on top of the tank pad thats on toip of the frame back by the bolt mount??

If you have an '80 model the carbs will clear because the petcock is more compact.
