I was able to seal up one of my slip ons today, cured some of the backfiring (still backfires when releasing from high revs). I think I have to change jets. I have cobra exhaust and it smells real rich when it's running. Thinking about a Voodoo slash cut full system eventually. COPs is next on my list.

My Max w/ Cobras also smells rich, so much that my jacket will reek of gas if spend time in stop and go.

I ordered a d2s bixenon projector and hid system from the retrofit source, along with a 6.5"x6" round aluminum slug that I plan to machine a custom headlight housing. We'll see how this turns out!

You need 147.5 or even 145's with the Cobra's

Might want to check your shut off diaphragms also....the small diaphragms under the round covers on the carb sides....also referred to as anti backfire valves.

My knowledge of carbs is zero. What am I looking for, a rip?

Thanks for the input Sean. I am getting rid of the Cobras soon, just don't like the slash cut look. I gonna go with the Delkevic carbon 8" can. I am going for a preferred
look not a power increase. Hopefully a jetting change won't be required....but who knows:ummm:

 

[Vincent Maxwell Ribaldry]

I like the slash cut look, is the voodoo system any good? Just took the side covers and faux tank off. The wind box was just sat on top of the carbs. Not sure what if any effect that would have, snuffed it up though.

[johnblaid]

realized the fact that I need another 200 bucks to complete my current brake rebuild project.

 

[Vincent Maxwell Ribaldry]

Tightened up the band clamps under the carbs too. Seemed to help.

Yeah...rips, tears, pinholes, stiff, non flexible rubber....etc. Hold them up to a bright light and stretch them a little.

Hit around 40 degrees here. Backed it out and fired it up. To much salt to ride. Hasn't run in 3 months. Turned over 4 or 5 times and fired up. No battery tender, just an odyssey PC 680 batteryunk: Music to my earsunk:

 

[Evil-Seed]

Fired it up for the first time in 2014. It got up to 63 today, but salt and water from melting snow stopped me from riding.

Hmm... I must have an electrical issue. I have a tender on all winter and still need to jump it. New battery every year. I think I will pull it next time.

Install new front fork oil, rebuild front and rear brake calipers, install the front brake lines I made,

Now the freaken front brakes bleeding was taking to long, man I had a time getting them to bleed properly.

So I starting looking around the house for stuff that could help make brake bleeding faster. My wife had 2 flavor injector in the kitchen draw. I use 1 and remove the needle and stuff 5/16" hose in it. I put a little brake fluid in the master cylinder. I filled up the syringe with brake fluid install the hose on the bleed screw pump the syringe real easy hit the hose a few times so the air bobbles would back up to the syringe. I open the bleeder screw just a little and slowly push the brake fluid through the brake lines back up to the master cylinder. I pump the brake lever. Man the brake level was strong I could only pull it half way to the bar and I was really trying hard.

I did the rear brake bleeding to it went easy to.

The front brakes man it took 13mins to do.

Picked up all three of my wheels with tires swapped and installed. What is it about new tires that makes me want to ride so much more?
