    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    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.

Slip-ons and Re-jetting...

I just bought a 1997 Suzuki Marauder project. Basically the motor went and the PO gave up on it. Anyhow, I'm going to pick up a stock, used motor from the junk yard. As for the pipes, the old ones are showing their age and I was thinking of getting a set of Slip-ons, leaving the stock headers. I've heard some say that you do not need to re-jet the carbs if you keep the stock headers while other say you do. Any thoughts or personal experience with this?
 
I installed a set of Mac slipons on my 850. Cut the old pipes off and welded a sleeve on to accept the slipons. Did not have to rejet the carbs. Nice thing about the Mac slipons is that the baffles are removable for replacement. I think the only time you have to rejet the carbs is if installing pods.
 
Depends on the slip ons, and how restrictive they are. The little Harley mufflers you would need smaller jets, as they don't flow very well at all.
 
I've been looking at some from Cobra that are supposed to be freer flowing...but no good info on if any other mods are needed. I'm not going with pods. For right now, the plan is for a stock intake and just a set of slip-ons.
 
I have a 550L and need new pipes as these are rusted through and my mileage and sound is horrible. If I bought new slip-ons, where do you cut the pipes after the merge?
 
Does anyone have any ideas on this? Also, has anyone out there ever tried to repack the stock baffles? Is it possible if you cut the ends off?
