You don't even need the new carb! Money for another goodie!

True but I think I am going to bolt a 35mm PWK air striker onto my Ugly FL350 anyhow.

I have had a lot of good luck with the 35mm PWK carb and I like the idea of having the exact same setup for both my two stroke rigs. Makes having spare parts around a lot easier.

If it doesn't work well on the FL350 compared to the 36mm PE I will take the 35mm PWK Air Striker and put it on my banshee instead because the 35mm PWK I am using on her now is not an Air Striker model, it only has the dual vents not quad like the Air Strikers do.

If 35mm PWK Air Striker runs well I will most likely be selling the 36mm PE Keihin this weekend after I swap to the 35mm PWK if anyone is interested in buying it.

Well I decided I am actually gonna keep this PE carb around for awhile just to make sure the 35mm will cut the mustard for me.
I want to take it out and give it the old seat 'o the pants dyno along with a few plug checks before I am willing to part with the 36mm PE.

FYI I did see the same PE on fleabay going for 91 bucks though:

Anybody else have theirs show up like that?

Went for a test ride with the new DG exhaust, Boyesen Power Reeds, and Keihin 35mm PWK carb.
Man what a difference that made in throttle response and overall power.
I will definitely need to figure out a way to tame down the DG, it is loud and obnoxious as all hell.
Just sitting at idle I feel like there is somebody shooting a semi automatic 22 long rifle over my shoulder.

Thanks yeah I saw those for 130 on fleabay. Wanted to run it first and see exhaust how loud exactly the DG was before I ran it. Definitely gonna need something else quieter soon along with the spark arrestor for summertime.

Don't get popped any time of year without a spark arestor in Commiefornia. I don't know about Northern Commiefornia but in So. Cal. they would post Ranger Rick at the entrance to ATV riding areas and they would send you packing without a spark arrestor. If they caught you riding without one it way a nice stiff ticket in the 700 to 800 dollar range.

Yeah I run a sparky on all my quads. They don't really check you much around here as long as you have a green sticker showing but this thing grabs a lot of attention and I don't want to go lighting the woods on fire anyhow!

So, I browsed 21 pages and didn't see

What app is that you are running for speed, angle, etc.?

Is it on an iPod or iPhone?

I'm not sure if the iPod has GPS, etc. for telemetry

Great build...it motivates me to walk by my FL350 and give it the bird :)

B S is correct. It is the app by Ulysse called Speedometer which conveniently does not display ads if you are using an old cell phone with no SIM and no WIFI signal :-)

Oh and thanks for the compliment too.

The phone I used for the display is an HTC Inspire I got for free back when I had AT&T.
I have some heavy duty velcro on the back of the case so I can take it off in the heavy rain.

With the screen on full bright and my anti glare goggles I can see it during the day but have honestly only tested it once so far and it was slightly overcast that day.
The HTC Inspire I am using actually has a fairly bright screen on it and I can run it in full brightness mode since it is hard wired into the 12 volt via the dash outlet for power.
It has a SLCD display versus the newer AMOLED but I had it just laying around collecting dust so I figured why not use it??
I considered building a little hood / lip for it to keep water off during rides and help with the glare too.

Here is a shot of my old HTC Inspire during the day with the screen on full bright mode:

About the only complaint I really have so far with using the HTC Inspire 4.7" android touchscreen as a speedo display is that the thing takes a good solid 5-10 minutes to boot up and then another 5-10 to link up with enough satellites to make it worth using. This might be because most of my tests were in the garage where GPS signal is not as strong.

I got to try out my new 3" safety harness for the first time Sunday night also.
Holy mackerel what a difference having that and the new padding around the knees makes when you are really ripping through the tough stuff.
I still need to install the crotch belt but damn does it ever make the ride nicer (and safer).
