Hi Guys, first off thanks to everybody that gave advise over my last problem, turned out to be a sticking solenoid, repair cost $0.
Now to the new problem.
History. When I viewed the bike before purchase it was fitted with V and H sort shots, looked and went OK, but the guy selling it would not let it go with the V and H, so the "stock pipes were fitted" and I was given the original "2" jets from the S & S carb.
After a few rides I quickly realised that I had to scrap the exhaust, far too long and low for the roads around here. In fact I snapped off the flanges that join the 1 piece silencer can. and scrapped a hole right through the chrome heat Shields to both the pipe and the silencer.
I now have Hooker wide-tails fitted, mat black finish. "must post a pic" So the problem. backfiring down the pipes, mostly on "overrun" When I shut off the gas to coast, I get a rumbling in the pipes and a few pops. I am still running the jets for V and H "sorry don't know the size" All I have checked so far are the plugs, they look normal on colour and condition.
Just to add I also get a little pinking under very hard acceleration.
