to install or not to ...that is the question

[ozstriker]

Here is a short story of the reason behind my question. 4 Years ago I had a pretty bad accident with my shee(2002) it was ok since it decided to ride me after I went over the handle bars. From that point on my brother had assured me he would store it till I was okay .....4 years later it completly dismantaled in his garage . He recently bought an 2003 shee as a truce between the both of us.

 

My question is the 2003 has DG pipes and boyesen rad valves on there it also has a K&N filter with moded air box. Is my paul turner/fat boy2 combo a better pipe and should I change the rad valves out for my VF 2 and if I do the switches should the jetting be modified(I have no clue what jetting is there)?

 

sorry for all the Q&A I've been away from the sceen for a long time

if you ask an opinionated question your not going to get a direct answer.

 

paul turners, given you have mids, are great low end pipes and i love them

dg pipes ive never owned and i frequently hear dg being called the "dollar general" of exhaust

 

boyesen reed valves are also a mystery to me, but ive owned vf2 and had nothing to complain about.

 

in about another few post some one will say "what kind of riding do you do"

and you will probably be unsure of a classification of riding style.

 

if you got the parts mix and match, find a combo to suite you. other wise my opinion will be vf2 with paul turners

 

o and ya, jetting is sensitive. you may of may not need to rejet. use your knowledge of the machine

ok I tend to ride lots of trails and try to get out to the sand pits once in awhile

 

I'm looking to have more bottom end than top end as top speed is not my objective.

 

As for jetting using my knoledge is not an option as I have been away from the scene for over 4 years and have not kept in touch or as I should say updated in tha ''art'' of jetting.

 

I should also mention that I have a boost bottle installed.

 

The bike that I juste bought runs good on idle but I have yet to take it out for a ride as I do not have a hitch on my car for the moment there for trails or sand pits are to far away so I can't say if it runs good on throttle.

 

So I just installed the PT mids and hope to get her out soon.
