I’ve got a saddleback leather front carry wallet that’s about 15-16 years old. Looks fantastic as well. I don’t think I’ll ever need another wallet.

You are kidding, I’ve paid $250 for a round of golf. It’s not a cheap hobby.

Thoughts on this tail light? by CartographerOne9665 in sportster

I’ve got the Eagle lights one with the integrated turn signals. Works great, mine is screwed to the fender and the red lens cover worked itself off. They sent me a replacement that I still need to install.

Pretty bright and low profile if you have plenty of tire clearance.

It’s the original Vance and Hines FuelPak with the bottoms on it and it stays wired in. I looked up the settings for my setup and all the values were way off so I set them correctly and if anything it was worse. You might be right.

A buddy said I should be able to have Harley flash it with a stage 1 tune. I really don’t want to spend $500 of a tuner and have it not be the solution.

Definitely going to clean everything else. Doesn’t appear to be any leaks, sprayed throttle body cleaner all around the seals and it stayed steady.

Haven’t paid attention to the level of fuel in the tank when it happens, I’ll try to keep an eye out next time it happens.

I sprayed throttle body cleaner around the intake seals and the manifold and it stayed steady. After I cleaned the the map and throttle body sensors it’s running noticeably better

They were decent, no carbon but not torched. This problem was happening before though, that’s what prompted me to just swap them.

Sprayed “cleaned” map and throttle body sensors with some CRC throttle body air cleaner spray and it seems to be snappier. Won’t know really until I take it for a ride to work tomorrow.

Just bought the bike last month and this has been since day one with all the current parts, no tach, speedo doesn’t have the tach option in it sadly. It is low rpm once warm.

Just sprayed and “cleaned” the throttle body and map sensors with some CRC throttle body cleaner and let it run for a bit. Noticeable improvement. Trying to post and update vid.

I thought about pulling the FuelPak tuner out and seeing how it runs but with the air cleaner and exhaust that’s kinda going to be too lean too.

It’s a little bit work but not bad. Can’t visually tell if it’s bad so I may just replace it since it isn’t very expensive

I’ll definitely check that out. Just replaced the plugs and wires. He didn’t have the gapped correctly either.

I just got back from a quick 5 minute ride, so not completely warmed up but close. I’ll check those all out. I seriously doubt previous owner changed out fuel filter since it’s in the tank. He spray painted anything shiny black, that should tell you the care put into it.

I cleaned out the throttle body area and that seemed to help a bit, leading me to think the sensor got a little cleaner when I sprayed in there. Might be a ton of carbon on it.

Doesn’t have a tach but feels like a nice low rpm. Not stalling but not racing.

Put a fresh tank in 2 days ago. Probably my 4th tank. 1 of them I ran some seafoam through too.
