Looking for a backrest. I see some aftermarket stuff, but they all look flimsy. Can't find an OEM for sale with a reasonable pricetag. Any suggestions?

There are some flat slide carbs on eBay if anyone is interested. They don’t come with a lot of hardware though. I emailed the company and they don’t offer just a hardware kit. So are flat slides worth the price tag??

Aloha everyone. Well, I'm trying to dial in my carbs and she is starving all over the place. I need to change my mains, but not too sure how much bigger I should try. Here is my set up. Morley's muscle jet kit Kerker 4:2:1 Ross Pistons Needle is at second richest slot towards point end...

Aloha everyone. Well, I just rebuilt my engine. I replaced all gaskets and o rings. Everything. For some reason, the stator cover is leaking from the removable insert cover you take off to look at the timing mark on the fly wheel. Not the screw in one, the cover mounted with two allen heads.

Which company has the best heavy duty aftermarket starter with a lot of torque for easy starting? My motor has bigger Ross pistons that I bought from Morley and the compression is higher than stock. This OEM starter is having to work a lot harder to get her turned on. I see one by Ricks...

Hello all you carb heads. Ok, I see all these fantastic write ups on rebuilding and adding jet kits. So what about the aftermath of pain that lies ahead? How can we minimize the time it takes to dial it all in? I'm talking A/F screws, which needle clip, all of the jet sizes, ETC..... Before we...

Ok, here is my problem. I changed my gauge bulbs with LED's from superbrightled.com. All of a sudden, my fuel pump would not prime the carbs when I turned the key. I tested all of the LED's and they worked fine. I also put them in different sockets and had the same problem. I took out the fuel...

The other day, I was crusing home on the highway and she just started sputtering and died. I tried to restart it and the battery was dead. I just installed a new stator, my battery is cherry, and my starter is new. Before I take her out, I wanted to make sure everything was working. Anyway, I am...

If you push the butterfly valve open on the carb, there are three tiny pin holes in a triangle pattern on the wall of the carb right where the butterfly seats. What are these for? Do they lead anywhere or are they just three tiny chambers? If they lead to somewhere, what is the best way to...

I just rebuilt my carbs and set my float levels at 1.115" (Morley's advice) and sprayed carb cleaner in EVERY hole to make sure I had zero blockage. She starts up and runs decent with the choke on, but as soon as I take the choke off, she dies. I have tried many adjustments on the air fuel...

Ok. I set my dry float levels according to the casting stamp on the jet block like in the dry float level thread. Right now, my #3 carb is overflowing fuel through the overflow tube. What should I look at?

I just bought my 97' VMAX, and the vboost was removed. I just rebuilt the carbs and now I am having trouble synchronizing the carbs. Is there any special way to sync the carbs with the vboost removed? If it is easier to sync with vboost, what are the minimum vboost components I need to install...
