Dual Plate and Dynabead Mod
I had a few days off from work for the Christmas break so I completed some pending mods.
I installed a Chuckster's dual plate system to go with the TFI and V&H exhaust that were on the bike. I rewired and re-routed the Fire & Steel light bar harness. I put 30 watt amber fog lights in the light bar. I installed a new Avon Frt tire and installed Dyna beads in the front and rear tires. Now that I have had a few days to ride with the intake and balancing media; it is like a different bike. ![]() ![]() ![]() The intake improved the rolling performance. I test rode (2-up) with the new intake through areas of the Texas Hill Country where I would normally have to down shift at least one gear. No downshifting was required. I have not experienced a decrease in mileage. The intake improved the labored sound that was coming from the engine. Pinging is not an issue on 87 octane fuel. The dual plate minimizes the noise coming from the engine breathing during operation unlike a Caddman type mod I previously tried. Simply put it is worth every penny! The product is well made and is a great value when compared against similar products that are available. Joe's service and troubleshooting help is excellent. I have experience with several of his products and all are top shelf for sure. As for the Dynabeads; I noticed an significant improvement and my pillion commented that the bike is riding smoother. The new frt tire I could understand, but the rear Metzler ME 880 with at least 4,000 miles was much improved. I will not be using conventional balancing methods again.
