Road test last year 95 FLHR with EV-27 camshaft, Fullsac true duals conversion, SE ignition module and a set of Khromewerks mufflers I snagged at a flea market for $25.

That's a whole lot of diesel jargon right there! :lol:
$25 for a Harley with all that jazz sounds like a good deal to me though! :thumbup:

Yep LOL it was good deal. The guy had a garbage can full of mufflers and it was close to the end of the day. I saw them and asked how much and he said $25. They retail in the $300 price range new. All they needed was a good clean and polish..

Yeah I should have raised it another 1/4 inch or so...Thanks. It runs sweet. You are supposed to lose midrange torque with the true duals conversion, I certainly cant feel any loss. I think it runs better than it ever did with the factory crossover.

Sounds like you have it dialed in Timster - runnning well. Our Potato's get a bad (and unfair) rap, I like mine, don't love it - but I like it. Mine runs well too and it's a pleasure to ride.
