Aussie,

I like the new twin gauges. What do you do with the data regarding temp? You have got to be running hot in the heat of your summer. Now you can see exactly how hot. So what do you do, shut it down when it reaches certain temps? Or just watch the gauge for extreme changes?

Looks good Ausie, got a question though. From these pics it looks like you got the deep air filter design. I thought in previous posts some time ago you said that filter couldnt be used with the forward controls?

Reo,

Good spotting & a good memory too! Yes I am running the Zippers wide filter at the moment & yes there were 2 issues I had with it. 1st was the tear drop cover did not cover the filter (the filter is 5/8inch wider) but for now I am living with that as my stage 1 K&N element screamin eagle air filter that fits nicely inside the cover simply did not allow my engine to breathe & was robbing me of 5hp, so for 5hp I can live with it. 2nd was my leg was rubbing on the teardrop cover & was a little uncomfortable but 2lane gave me a little tip & I made a couple of 1 inch spacers to offset my forward controls out a bit & it made all the difference.

Cheers

Kona,

It is probably more of an anal thing I just like to be able to know what is going on in there. But I do use it for warming up purposes as I dont like to ride until the oil is around 150 & never go over 4000rpm until the oil is around 200. Like I said it is a bit anal but thats just the way I am. Crikey I have OCD bad I can be anal too!

It just sends a chill down my spine when I see guys start there engine rev it a few times till it clears & then drop the clutch  well its their loss.

Cheers
Aussie

PS: It wont over heat, I have a thermostaticaly controlled oil cooler which helps with quicker warming up & last summer I was riding very hard in 105 temps & oil got to 230 on my oil tank dipstick gauge

That zippers filter is the best for flow. I put the shorter zippers filter on my fatboy because the teardrop filter does stick out farther and with my wife driving it she doesn't like it. Have you thought about modifying that rubber peice between the filter and the teardrop hairdrier or maybe even taking it out to bring the cover in farther towards the motor? On my seeg I use the deep zippers filter and the chrome cover goes right over the filter without that rubber peice that holds the hairdrier in place. I believe the rubber peice is there just to keep the the cover from turning but whith it being about 1/2 plus deep it shure is anying........Roy
