OMG!!!

I finished getting my bike back together and have been riding her for a couple of days now.

I installed chrome reservoirs I bought from a guy here, I still need to ship him the cores...they will be out in the mail tomorrow.  I had been waiting to see if I had problems before returning the cores.  BTW, if anyone is thinking of getting them, the chrome process takes up some clearance room which will have to be filed down in a couple of spots but they look AWESOME!!!

I sync'd the carbs, this was easy even for me.  The screws are sooooo touchy.

It is amazing how much smoother the bike runs and how much more grunt she has.  Playing around I had her up to 100 before I realized it as I was getting on the interstate.  Looked down and saw what I was running and backed off, shifted her into 4th then 5th....and laughed.

The dyna3000 has made a noticeable difference too.  All seat of the pants, but with the first fillup I after the work, I had a 10% gain in mpg and a good hp gain, SOP.  That is with me running her hard a couple of times and also topping a buck twenty playing around with a new Camaro.

I was lucky enough to find an older dyna3k in the box prior to them being built overseas.

When making the adjustments duing the sync... do not push the screwdriver tip into the screw head as you turn.  The inward pressure will affect your reading.

or if you do...release the pressure to see the effect your change has made.

YEah, found that out real fast.

One thing I can say is that once you are done, if your bike needed the sync then you WILL notice a difference in how it runs.
