Re: Kury & exhaust mods...
Hey Habanero Kid,
Congrats on the Dyna! Great bike!
The Hypercharger is said to be somewhat restrictive due to the smallish surface area of its filter. Taking into consideration the ram-air effect at speed, I wonder if this claim is true. Mine doesn't seem to be choked up at all even at 95 cid.
Asthetically, the Kury has few rivals. It looks hot! Performance wise I believe it's in the same category as the SE.
As far as a good performing inexpensive exhaust upgrade goes, check out a set of Cycle Shack slip-ons. They used to make the SE mufflers for Harley before the SE IIs came out. Great sound, good value and one of the best power makers of the slip-on mufflers on the market.
Don't neglect to rejet your Keihin or do a Dynojet kit since once you do the intake and exhaust upgrades you'll be exasserbating an already lean condition. One jet size up from stock for both jets should put you in the ball park if not a little rich. You may also want to remove the welsch plug and enrichen the idle mixture a bit.
The above mods come relatively cheap and will net you around 75 horse compared to the stock 65. After that expect to throw roughly $100 per horsepower at it.
My '99 FXDX Superglide Sport is rodded as follows and will ball you up on the seat and wrinkle your face up quite nicely... 95 cubic inch, 10.5 to 1 hi-comp forged pistons, SE heads, roller rockers, SE 257 cams, adj. push rods, SE 6200 rpm race ign., Thunderslide and fat jets, Kuryakyn black powdercoated Hypercharger, Samson Street Sweeper exhaust w/torque cones. One horsepower & footpound of torque per cubic inch conservetively rated.
Enjoy the new ride.
Later,
Mike
