    Awesome roads, views and a fun video as always.
    Riding with the wife on and off video seems like an awesome time.

    the back roads through deland to destination daytona is worth the extra time. i’ve always enjoyed it back there especially on the way back.

    If you want a deal a great leather vest. Plan a trip to Windwalkers in Oak hill Florida just north of Mims. Take Maytown road there you will thank me for the tip and want to ride with me more after riding Maytown Road.

    You don't want back pressure. Back pressure is 100% a myth, mostly caused from a misunderstanding. Back pressure is bad, exhaust scavenging is good -- and exhaust scavenging goes away without an obstruction in the exhaust stream, like a baffle. The obstruction prevents what is known as "exhaust reversion", which to make a long story short, is the back-flow of exhaust towards the engine between exhaust pulses. This results in low end torque loss, but high RPM horsepower gains.
    An obstruction in the exhaust stream prevents reversion by maintaining a more consistent flow due to aerodynamics and math I don't feel like explaining. 😅

    • @UncleBogator
      @UncleBogator  5 месяцев назад

      yeah man I wanted to expand on my statement in the video about scavenging, without going into the reversion piece. Mostly because I only have a very macro level understanding of it. Happy for your comment my man

    I had a shop swap the fuel injectors to the wrong cylinders when they put a new head gasket on my Sportster. It ran but was dumping fuel and couldn't be tuned. Finally, a guy on the Sportster forum had the idea to check the injectors, they were backwards. I swapped them around and it fixed everything. lol, that Sporty was likely running like a diesel for 5K miles. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself as even "professionals" make mistakes.

    Anyone who says you need backpressure, keep your stock exhaust. I miss Mike Branch's weather updates. And I love your "you came here for ..., that's over. Scram." I've been down I95 once, and that was enough. Next time St. Augustine to Daytona via A1A/1, and then cut across into the meat of the wang. Can use a little more husband abuse lol. I like how Taylor Green was at a bar rallying, definitely Florida.

    My dad had a 48 FL after the war. He called it a 74, and I think he was referring to the CI.

      It was fairly easy just did it very slow. Problem is I turned it into a hot rod monster, less street bike…. Now it’s my “around town” bike. Super fun around town only.

    Take it to blockheads and buy a tune license for it man. You wont need a unit installed on your bike and it will run way better.

    • @UncleBogator
      @UncleBogator  5 месяцев назад

      Thats the plan after I decide what i want to do with it

    • @michaelmitchell5909
      @michaelmitchell5909 5 месяцев назад +1

      @UncleBogator ....thanks for getting back man. If you plan on keeping the bike, you should true and weld the crank and get gear drive cams, it'll be like an evo, bulletproof. But you have to have a perfectly trued crank or over time the runout will grow

    • @UncleBogator
      @UncleBogator  5 месяцев назад

      @@michaelmitchell5909 i'm on the fence about geared cams. Mostly because of the perfectly trued crank. But we'll see. One of these days I'm going to go full stage 4 on it. Just not sure what I want to do for the displacement side of it. Or the cams.

      ​@UncleBogator ....I hear ya man, there's alot of options and it's very expensive now. Fuel moto, sns, and zippers are my choices when I'm ready to rebuild. I own a 2004 road king that had a 95" on it when I bought it. Fueling 525 cams too man, they made the motor run strong...
