Don't know your bike but I put a taller set of bars on my Road King and am much more comfortable. I'm 6'1".

I would try it on over the leathers but I think that is accounted for when the suits are sized. Also, you get what you pay for; I bought one of the less expensive suits and although it works well it doesn't keep all the water out on a real soaker. I don't know if any really do.

Very good point on Item 2 Iron! Of all the things to think about on this issue I never, nor did the reviewer in the article I mentioned above, thought about the fixed headlight issue. I end up riding in the dark through the country on the way home from job 2 a couple nights a week and when the corn is high as well as during the harvest season the critters are on the run. I catch a glimpse of quite a few as I round blind corners. Now that we are talking lights, I would miss the road lights that the

Just an fyi...don't know if this will help at all. I have V&H Big Shot Duals and the Fuelpak. I had popping issues during decel after it was installed and V&H Tech Support gave me a new value for one of the modes, I think the very last one and it solved the problem. My pipes are baffled and I actually switched to quieter baffles after the first month. Again V&H provided a new map for the Fuelpak and I have had no issues. This being said I think if they had a solution for you you would

I got the link for this article off their web site; don't forget to look at the Fuelpak AND a high flow breather. If you compare the V&H price vs. buying both through J&P you may qualify for free shipping through J&P and save some money. Ness Big Sucker would be a good breather and work with your OEM air cleaner cover.

Thanks sleep and sub; I'll be looking in to both options. Have a good finish to the week!
