can i reuse the gasket thats already in my old pipe or do i need a new one..and what about sealing it with silicon?
there is only one way it can possibly go in. you need to feed it and bend it around and the flange will end up pokeing in between the frame rails under the gas tank. the bend will be sticking out the left with FMF fatty gold series facing forward.
no harm in trying right? it did come with the flange that attaches to the motor? a seperate small piece?
well then go throw that stock POS in the scrap pile and mount that badboy up!! I:I
appreciate all the help guys...but what about the high temp silicon..do i need that or can i get by without it? and also this is my only mod on a stock 2000 ....so what size jet should i move up to...i know theres a lot more to jetting the carb but i cant be bothered with the plug chop, so i just want a safe size jet so i wont run too lean
i dont think the silicon will work too good. just get the springs like djack mentioned and you'll be good to go. you might go up a size or two at the most i would think. a 260 or 270 works good for me with my mods. btw stock is 230 if ya didnt know. I:I
well i was thinkin about takin the airbox lid off too to get the most out of the pipe, so maybe i will stick with the 250...i still have the oil injection on, but i throw a little oil in with the gas anyway just to play it safe
thanks alot dude..but i got the power core2..came with the pipe when i bought...got the whole set up for $75...it just had a little dirt and rust on it...but i polished the sh*t out of it got it lookin brand new now...thanks again for the info
i was installing my new fmf fatty the other day. it is really easy just line it up and put the bolts in. when i was doing mine the stud on the cylinder head snapped. there is like 1/2" sticking out but it wont come out. im so pissed i wanna try my new pipe! i have heated it, used WD-40, vise grips, channel locks and it just wont come out.
ya i just got a better pair of vise grips with sharper teeth. if that dont work then ill try welding a bar on
my mounting flange doesnt have a loop on it to hook the spring onto, does anyone have any ideas what i can do about it, or can i get by without the spring
