Well, she's posted inthis sectionas recently as October. Hope she comes back

 

Yep, She's a smokin Hottie , With a smokin Hot ride!

My only worry is, dbleagel had posted that his were falling apart. He did say he loved them and they produced a great sound. Maybe he just got a bad set.

 

Dunno, when I found the pipes and how bad @$$ her bike looked I PM'ed to find out what kind they were, never got a response.

 

Yep...she's a hottie...!!

Now back to the pipes...lol.

 

Since its her bike with the pipes you asked about technically I'm right on topic.

Buy'em already I think they'll look good on your Sporty.

 

I just posted a pic in my thread "Awaiting Hooker Troublemakers".....I finally got them installed...took 45 minutes and went super easy.

Looking at the new pipes, I can see a few things that might make them crack/break if not installed properly.

It's super important that you locate everything loose first, then properly tighten the flanges at the heads before you tighten the mounting brackets....Then wipe them down with alcohol to remove finger prints before you fire them.....then after a few heat cycles, loosen where they bolt to the lower bracket and retorqure the 4 head flange nuts, then retorque the brackets...And all will be good for a very long time....Also check hose clamps after a few heat cycles.

 

Oh.....This is important, too.....Make sure to run a bottoming tap lubricated with some kinda fluid like WD-40 into the two smaller engine case holes that mount the belt pully cover before you reassemble....Then flush the holes with same lube.

The reason is that HD uses some kinda white thread sealant on those two boltsand itneeds to be removed before you attempt to screw them back in or they go in way too hard and threaten to break.....also wire brush the two bolts to remove the sealant from their threads.

Just remove the pulley cover and then tote one of the long/small cover bolts to the parts store and they can sell you the correct tap for maybe 3-4 bucks.
