[Throttle]

I am interested. Could I have a look at it first?

 

Of course, drop me your number and we can try to meet up tonite.

 

in the meantime visit the website i attached earlier, it looks exactly like that. if you fabricate this at sengkwang it will cost $150 at least

I was just wondering if anyone might be partial to a purchase-swop. I've presently got a pair of black Progressive Suspension series 440 11.5" rear shocks on my nightster, but I might want to swop them out for a pair of 13" shocks instead, as they look damn good, but I'm just not used to the low-clearance. If anyone who wants a pair of 11.5" shocks would be prepared to buy a pair of 13" shocks and we swop instead, I'd be prepared to pay a healthy top-up, rather than spending all that money to buy new 13" shocks. Let me know if anyone's considering the same.

 

or... actually, if anyone wants to buy the 11.5" shocks off me and is prepared to wait while I order in the 13" shocks to replace on my bike, also possible.

bro , you got pattern like badminton leh......haha

[reckless]

bro, any guys know where the fuse box for sportster year 98, my tail and signal light all gone!!!!

[Throttle]

fuse boxes for most cruiser type bikes are kept behind the side panels.

Go check either left or right.

@Blackenese:

 

If you are referring to the pop pop pop sound on deceleration, that is not really back firing but after firing. Thats when the gasses in your exhaust ignite. When decelerating, closing your throttle off will also close of the air supply to the engine quickly. But your fuel is still inside and there will be some lag between closing your throttle and also the remaining fuel inside from the last throttle. This lag causes unburnt fuel in your exhuast system and when exposed to the air outside, causes tiny explosions. that is the pop pop pop you hear.

 

That is quite normal unless you are running almost perfect air fuel mixture on your carbs. This popping can happen regardless of rich or lean air fuel mixture.

 

If your pipes are ok, and bike is properly tuned, then the pop pop pop should be consistent with every decelleration. However, if this pop pop pop gets very loud on decelleration, you may have an exhaust air leak that allows air to enter the exhaust system allowing an explosive mixture to develop within the pipe, a very loud explosion will result as the pressure wave is directed out the outlet pipe. The side effect: very loud bang. The bad side effect: Your pipes actually can be destroyed and the leak you have either from a hole or crack will propogate.

 

When u change your exhaust or improve your air flow using hyper chargers, bigger K&Ns etc...if you do not tune up your carbs or Power Commanders to suit the change, you may risk running your engine too lean in certain RPM range. If your bike is new, it is almost guarnateed from the factory it will run lean. So using more aftermarket parts, will make it leaner and this effective further leaning of the mixture can push the engine over the edge resulting in popping. Side effect: constant popping losing performance.

 

The worst side effect from a lean fuel mixture would be increased chances of detonation in the combustion chamber which can destroy your engine.

 

Back fire occurs when gasses ignite "BACK" up the intake tract and generally speaking...doesnt hurt the engine too much if not at all as the flames coming out is on the exhaustion process of a 4 stroke engine.

 

Some questions: What RPM range does your popping occur? What RPM range does a real back fire occur? If your bike is fuel injected, a PC should solve that problem right away. thats why you seldom hear back fire or popping on later model harleys.

 

Cheers.

 

Great! Thank you for the info. I was once upon a time wondering about the same popping noise when decelerating

Comrades,

 

The Dark Ages has dawn upon us again...

 

Malaysia Immigration has reinstated the 'white-card' at entry again.

Causing Mayhem at peak hours for those without the card, let alone a pen.

 

Travelers take heed and take a pen.

fcuking pissed

 

allen bolt got rounded, wanted to add a rack but the bolt on the sissybar refuses to budge, and damn cheap quality bolts at that...

 

URGH!

[plasticblackspecs]

Sian. Hate it when that happens. Get a plier and twist it out or ask Rosli help. Change to normal philips head after that.

Changing to philips head also not solution.

infact philips head is even easier to get messed up.

 

The reason why allan key get rounded is becos the wrong size was used.

 

Take note that there are american and UK sizes, they may be quite close but there is some size diff. if you use the right size, IMPOSSIBLE to round.

 

that is the advantage of Alankey

dude check the size of your alankey, most likely wrong.

you could have mixed up the us size with uk size, thats a common mistake which guarantees rounded bolts if too much pressure is applied.

[plasticblackspecs]

I change to normal screw cos easier to carry a screwdriver than allen key around. That's just me la.

i didn;t know there were two standards, but when i tried it was definitely snug fit but the metal just gave way.

harley uses allen key with holes that are in inches, can get a series of inches allen keys at around the same prices as the metric version. Get allen key set that have 1/16' to 3 /8' and a set of spanners 1/4', 5/16',3/8',7/16' and a 1/2' should be enough for you to do some DIY on your harley

Oh dear...... seems like this sheng... sheng... sound is spreading to everybody... mine is coming from the front... Dude, try to brake using the front brakes and brake gently to prolong the braking distance, see during that interval, is there any sound. Initially, i also thought it was the clutch, and that when i clutch in, no sound. But i was wrong, it was the brakes.
