They make an easy pull kit for the clutch, FSTSXDL. It is basically a mechanical advantage for the trans side cover. The only thing I can think of besides a hydraulic set-up.
The front brake could be solved by a linked set-up like the newer bikes use. I`m not sure if they sell a kit for it or not.

Have fun on the ride!

Thanks for you help. My problem is more with operating the clutch and front brake. If I happen to get stuck in traffic, its a bit of a problem. Going to take it out to see if it clears out.

Hey FSTSXDL! Sorry about the arthritis. A buddy of mine was like that and used a cramp buster to help run the throttle side. It seemed to work pretty well. I think you are right about the Idle circuit. You can try to run it but I think you will have to pull the carb and clean it. Good luck all the way around.

Hello all, haven`t been riding because of some pretty bad arthritis in my hands and my 04 Dyna has been sitting for around a year now. I pumped the gas out and filled it with fresh premium,it sounds good but doesn`t want to Idle. It`s never idled that good because of the 211 cams and Screaming Eagle heads. And by the way, its a carburetor on her. I am suspecting a clogged Idle circuit. Any ideas? Maybe it just needs a good ride? Thanks and I`m going to try and get back on it.

We are down in the 40s at night here. Too early for fall, but its coming.

True duals sound good. I don`t have them either VT. I settled for the V&H slip-ons.

I have dual exhaust on my 2001 Toyota , had them done many years ago. had to replace mufflers 3 times since then but I found a place back home that does it at a really reasonable price.

What I would like is to put true duals on my 2016 Roadglide, but I really don`t want to fork out several hundred dollars for the pipes, some places just the header pipes are $600+.

I have already installed aftermarket slip on mufflers they were the megaphone type and got too loud, so I went back to the stock ones, but I ran a pipe through them and opened them up a little and they sound much better. Also drilled the catalytic converter out and that helped it sound better too. But these connect into one piped and then crossover with a pipe that is flattened out to half the original size, so the left side or rear cylinder is not breathing as good as the front one.

I have some more pipes in my shed I may try and just make my own true duals out of one of those sets. All I need is to go to my friends house and weld up what I need.

We got lots of rain for 24 hours after that it has been nice and really cool, got down in the 40"s here last night, high of 66 degrees for the next 3 days. It looks like fall has fell here in central Va,

Duals always look good. Glad you got something to make your Ford cool!LOL

Yesterday I went to the best muffler shop in the USA and had duel exhaust put on my truck (F150). It had exhaust that looked like it was an afterthought. Now it looks pretty cool - to me anyway. It is just a one into two set-up but you can`t see any of it and the pipes out the back are cool. These guys are super good. Mos went there for his SSR work and loved them.

It looks like there are plenty of storms brewing across the Atlantic and Caribbean, McG. My bet is that you will get to try the generator out this year.

9/17/2020 8:36:28 PM

Yup - I got the generator because as you know - I live where hurricanes stop. The last time my electricity was off for four days. It was get become uncomfortable if it had lasted one more day. With all the storms predicted for this year - it was time to get one. I feel good about it now and I hope I never need it.

9/17/2020 2:28:34 PM

Sounds like you are ready for anything, McG. The Gulf states are flooded.

9/17/2020 11:52:47 AM

It is supposed to be just major rain with a little wind. Now that I got my Generator I don`t give a schitt what happens - as long as my roof stays on. The nicety of DISH TV is that keeps going also.

9/17/2020 2:05:22 AM

It looks like y`all are going to get a ton of rain and wind from whats left of Sally. Hope y`all are well.
