Grab some stainless cap screws from Ace or True Value to bolt that riser cap on and you won't have rust in them.

Those pics came out BIG
I guess they're the standard speedy risers but the bars look a bit narrower than standard to me.Maybe it's my eyes that're narrower than standard.
I'm thinking of swapping my America bars for a set of speedmasters.

Yeah, I uploaded the pics directly from my phone. I didn't think they would come out that big. I will try to resize them.

The bars are a standard drag bar. I like them narrow.

I should get some stainless bolts. I thought they were. I guess not;)

That is just an HD cap with a modified pewter lapel pin attached to the cap.

Thanks for those pics Ian.

I don't know if I'd go that narrow a bar Kevin,they do look cool though.Maybe I'll just stick with the speed master setup.We'll see[if I ever get off my backside and do something about it. my middle name has become procrastination lately]

I posted a thread on the tech forum about the bike running lean. I found the culprit when pulling the carbs.



Also discovered the main jet is 155. pilot is 42. No shims. Needle is Nbad.

NOw2 wondering why the shop that cleaned the carbs not long ago did NOT replace the rubbers. These have been bad for a long time. The work was done at Big Four Cycle in Evansville. This is the kind of thing that makes me NOT want to have work done at a shop.

Ordered a haynes manual, new manifold to carb rubbers, oil temp gauge and oil pressure gauge, and some new pilot jets and shims. I got the jets just in case the rubbers were not the only reason for running lean.


Also thinking about new tires based on board member recommendations. But really thinking about white walls. I think they would look awesome.
I am open to advice on this.

Same thing happened to my bike running like crap.Its the very small flange on intake and original clamps that is the problem I bought new rubbers and stainless clamps and as I run with no airbox and have fitted the bracket to the carbs to stop wobble it's all good.
And first I thought it was the cdi problem so I bought the Procom unit and the bike is just amazing now
