triglide slip-on mufflers

[lzski326]

I have the Rush mufflers on mine with the stage one air cleaner and chip down load. I like the sound and it seams to run pretty good.

Barbara, didn't you know Harley Tax's are due every month:yes:

Some times twice a month.

Thanks for the 'harley tax' clarification.....boy, that one went right over my head:blush: I was going to run the TG stock (ha-ha)......every month (or week) there's something else I just can't live without.

Barbara, add a air cleaner and the download and your trike will run much cooler and really make those pipes sound. I added the big sucker air cleaner, download from HD and screaming eagle pipes. Definitely loud. :yes:

Why do H-D riders blip the throttle all the time?

Sometimes it's just to irritate those Lone Star Honda riders

Come on now.....my money tree is drying up I'm really happy with the sound of my V&H...did a 207-miler today.

This may be another dumb question, but how would I know if trike would run cooler? Do I have a gauge for that? I know, read the manual

Why do H-D riders blip the throttle all the time?

Personally I believe it started when HD riders thought their oil pressure was
too low when idling at a stop. So they would BLIP the throttle to bring up
the oil pressure. People started to panic seeing the pressure drop almost
to zero. Then with more & more HD riders comming into the fold they
probably heard older HD riders blipping their throttles at a stop and figured
that is what you are SUPPOSE to do. But now you have the nutcakes that
figure they have to REDLINE their tach at every stoplight. Then add the
bar hopping crowd comming home in the middle of the night figuring they
have to keep the motor tached all the way home. So .... Now Cities around
the nation are trying to enforce a Federal Law that has always been on the
books about all bikes have to have the EPA stamp on their mufflers.
They just announced here in Boston the other day of starting to enforce it.

i was told when i bought my trike that the oil presure at a stop light (iding) .that the oil presure would go down and when giving it the throdle it would go up to normal
its when u are riding along and u don't see any oil presure thats the time to be worried:yes:

Man did this bring back memories, and I think you are mostly right on the blip the throttle thing. Years ago I had a generator Shovel, basically a Panhead lower end with Shovelhead jugs. At a long stoplight or while sitting at idle the oil pressure would drop, and things would start to rattle around down between my knees. A blip of the throttle would brign back the oil pressure and stop the noise.
There is also the "racerboy" image of revving the engine at a light ready to do the drag race thing to the next block. Did this a lot in cars, still happens but it is hard to hear those 4 cylinder tuner cars over the thumping stereo nowdays.

Because we can

? I suppose I could blip the throttle on my BMW or Honda so I hope there's a more definitive answer. Thanks.

Does it seem to work? I tend to chuckle when I hear the blipping...

Thanks. This sounds the most plausible answer to date to me; ...the oil pressure then peer pressure bit.
