About tires... I got to thinking the same as cowboy. Bought a tire balancer and weights fom HFT. A tip for what it is worth, I use a hack saw to remove the old tire. Squirting soapy water on the blade helps a lot. P.S. the balancer takes some patience. and sometimes I have to rotate the tire 180 to get it closer. Lots of soap on the tire bead helps to insure a good fit during inflating,(use a brush ) . cheers

How do the Delvics sound? Any idea what they do to horsepower? Any jetting changes needed?

My version of one of those stupid unboxing videos.

You will not see any horsepower gains over stock exhaust and no jet changes needed.

My buddy Steve O and I have had good luck ditching weights and using dyna beads.

Yeah I've tried dyna beads before. Never could tell if they worked or not. I actually have a pack for the front and rear in my tool box.
I took a quick ride today and I could not feel any wierd vibration at all. I slow rolled a lil bit and took it up to 85.
Seems fine to me with no weights on at all.
I'll ride it for now and see if it changes.

I used them front and rear on the 07. I rode with no weights vs weights, same speed, same areas of town, and did the trips about 30 mins apart. Just long enough to put the beads in. I didn't notice any smoothness in the bike, but did notice less vibration in the mirrors, so they did work. I've put them in every bike since then.

I took the engine that's been down for 3 years due to a 2nd gear failure down to Sean's shop. He allowed me to help. I also got to see a great piece of history in Peewee's drag '85. There were some firsts with that bike for sure. Also included Jon Cornell's '09 that ran sub 10 second 1/4 miles.

Thanks for the great day, Sean. I learned a lot.

I prepped and primed another gen 1 set that I am fixing to do a killer candy color on. Stay tuned for it. I then got carried away and ordered a supercharger for the Luv truck.lol https://torqstorm.com/product/kits_single_small-block-chevy/

Aha... I spy some good lighting. I'll make sure to use good lights the next time I paint!

Haven't used PPG yet. I've used HOK paint before. Man, I loved that stuff....

A little video I made to get them back to a more factory look.

You just inspired me to buy some sand paper. You do good work,and it is enjoyable to work on them.
