What about a Lectron carb? Think that'd help with starvation?

 

Most stunters use mikuni and some cv, haven’t heard or seen anybody using lectron yet. I reckon it’s best to use something that is known and used by them big boys.

fyi, I’m riding a newer dyna with efi and now consider switching to the old frame, either with carb or efi. Haven’t decided yet. I have only tried stock and mikuni from friends bike and been doing research about this subject. Things that I have said is not based on my experience but by others and my own research.

 

My question is how do you avoid banging up the rear fender or breaking the tail light when at 12 o'clock? Is the fender bobbed off?

 

Popped one wheelie not by choice, but I thought I bent both tubes and my front end on came about a foot off the ground..

They (39mm) should be fine in theory, because of motocross but those bikes definitely do not weigh near as much as a Harley.. Half of the weight.

 

Actually, it is fuel starvation, because the fuel pick up in the carb is above the fuel level in the bowl.

Vapor lock is when fuel boils in the fuel line or fuel bowl, creating pressure that prevents fuel from flowing into the carb.

 

I see. Some of the OG wheelie dudes told me so I just kept saying that. Anyways, both term explain the fuel issue and stock carb still trash

Yeah, I understand what you mean but 39mm tubes are not that easy to bend on the direction the fork is hitting the ground. Stiffer springs if you into the wheelie stuff, or in general if you want a better ride overall. That’s another topic. Haven’t seen or heard stunters bent their tubes on hard landings. I had a sportster with 39mm when I was learning to wheelie harleys, and it went through a lot of hard landings. Had progressive springs in them with thick fork oil. No problem. It’s just in your head.

 

Only trash when doing wheelies...

 

Haha nah, you for sure gonna feel the difference between stock and aftermarket. Stock works for sure, but not as good as they should. But by any means, I don’t see why one should upgrade it if you don’t have complaints or gonna do some works one the engine.

 

And never let anyone tell you it's too early in the morning to do wheelies, it's gotta be 12 O'clock somewhere

 

And it's a bad picture too...

Guess it's because I bent and broke so many BMX bikes when I was younger..
I did bend an Enduro's forks from wheelies and jumping.
