VNASTY, great minds think alike! Took the "round" tips off when I first got them and did as you said.....polished the heck out of the aluminum tips that were underneath. They do look bad a$$ !!

 

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

MARK,How much did it cost to have your header pipes Jet Coated? And where did you have it done?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Also what air box mods are you running and jets?

 

VNASTY, the Sterling coat for both pipes only ran me $135....I called them first just to get a little info and the guy asked what I wanted coated and my address and in what seemed like less than a week I got a packet in the mail from Jet Hot. In it was a quote for the two pipes ($135) a bunch of color brochures and a video tape to watch on "The Jet Hot Process". Unreal right, all for a $135 quote.....these guys are gooooood. They have 3 different locations (one is close to where I live) but the coatings are only applied at their Pascogoula, MS facility....that's where they had me send the pipes. As far as the air box goes I installed two of the "slider type" air vents, cut out the center divider and put in a K&N filter with an Outerwear pre-filter (some say the K&N WITH the prefilter is like having a stock filter but I'm not so sure I believe that). As far as the jetting goes, currently I am running a 150/155 but I really have not had time to tweak it.....the 150/155 got me in the ball park but I still want to play around a bit to get it just right.

 

MARK,Thanks for the info,have you tried shimming your carb needles yet?I shimmed mine .032 with alum.washers.It pulls even threw the hole power band.With 2 turns on the low end air screw.

 

I would put some graphics on my V but they would cover up all the scratches from 11 months of riding! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

VNASTY, thanks for the tip on shimming the needles....looks like Sunday I'll-be-a-shimming!
