Hindle/PC3 install complete!!

SilverBullet · 02-23-2004, 9:12 AM

It was fun, well, frustrating mostly, but once it was all done, it seemed better. Took it out last night after I had to solder one of the wires for the PC3. When I was taking off the stock plug, the pliers slipped and cut one of the wires into. 10 minutes later I was back in business. That sucker was a beast to unsnap. I can't really believe the difference between the system power and the smoothness the PC3 made. Unbelieveable difference! Dan put a full Hindle or Arata map in there before he shipped it, amazing, just amazing....can you tell I'm happy?? Anyway,thanks for all your help .org!! It is really appreciated!!

oh yeah. I gutted the airbox also, that was easier than I thought it would be.

Yeah that connector is a BIATCH to get too. Arata huh? Have to check that out. You running any type of slip on or anything?

Wow, sorry you had so much trouble getting your pipe and PC111 on. I had to 'adjust' the roundness of the elbow pipe where it fits on the collector, but the downpipes were fine going onto the spigots. Glad you got it all sorted. Did you get the radiator shimmed so neither it or the bracket touches the pipes?

Cool! Glad you're enjoying it. Yeah, those connectors are a biatch to get apart!

I put 4 washers on the top bolt to move it over a little off the pipe. I'm going to have to look at it today to see if my 15 minute ride caused any rubbing from the radiator. I'll try to put a couple in there anyway since it is close, even if it didn't rub. I had to spread the elbow pipe also. It was a little comical....when I started the bike up after getting it finished, some of the silicone hadn't dried inside the can and when I rolled on the throttle a few pieces went flying out and stuck to the garage door that was opened.

Congrats on your successful exhaust install! So did you open up some of the airbox? Any pics of your airbox mod?

SilverBullet · 02-23-2004, 1:22 PM

Sorry, no pics. The ex took the camera. But I gutted the airbox. I started with just pushing the Flapper down under the snorkels, then I said I might as well take it all out, which went pretty easy.

Man, SilverBullet, if you blew silicone snot all over your garage door, you probably managed to create a leak in your plumbing, something you'll want to investigate and rectify. Looks like pipes might have to come apart again. Damn!

I don't think it would have created a gad in the rest of the silicone, but I will definetly be checking it out to see. I didn't think about that. Thanks
