Yes the enrichner threads are the same for the 34's and 38's. I personally never saw the need for 38's on the street, but guys like them. I guess I need to ride a piston port with 38's.

Jbabl, I have one of the HD compliance fittings laying around if you want to see how it would work PM me your address and I will send it to you N/C its brand new unused. The reason I mention this is you should check to see how it will align so you understand before you dive in with them. I have seen 38's fit to standard cylinders no mods except new boots to fit the 38's dont know how it was done. Also guys machine a very slight 2 or 3 deg angel on the face of the intake on the cylinder to get the 38's to clear the cases. |

Those adapters look great- so it also helps the tight fit between the bottom of carbs and cases? Any word on oil line issues with the 38s? Mine plugged in nicely on the 34s Still considering what to do- Thanks again |

Not much clearance between the frame down rails and the carb mouth. Look at the pics earlier in the post. Had to get creative fitting air filters. Center carb bowl drain plug sits on the neutral switch so I fashioned a hard plastic cap to fit over it and keep carb from directly contacting it. Throttle cables will need to be modified and re routed. All in all it was a bit of a challenge adapting them. |

Assuming you didn't do anything for the oil line check valves, if you just pushed the oil lines over the vent tubes? How about long term storage, oil fill the carbs and overflow? |

I'm also reading the KTOG very lengthy and informative thread-seems that H1 throttle cable might be a good idea, and I think my choke adapters that I got for my 34s will screw right in- I already have a tight fitting between the neutral switch, and I see a lot of people are using silicone tubes to move the foam filters further from the carbs- Doesn't seem like it will be an easy bolt on situation- Thanks again |

It can be challenging. |
