Desmog ?
« on: January 10, 2008, 04:49:39 AM »

Well, after four years, decided to bite the bullet and do the desmog.  Got my block off plates from Biglry and Bones and I am gonna install the Stebel horn too, got the mounting bracket from Dan.  Got lots of instructions ready to print off and get started.

The only question I have is it a six pack or a twelve pack job?

6 will do.  But if you work hard I think you can squeeze in a 12 pack!   O0

Ok, so I need to know if this is right.  In order to make a can of Bud work properly, I must first remove the small portal from the top of the can.  Then, all contents must be drained in a timely manner or the product will deterioate in a short matter of time.  Once this procedure has been repeated several times, it is a good idea to ingest a local pain killer.  Also, it is recommended to wear ear protection of diminish the nagging heard in the background.

If I were your physician, I's prescribe two of the ear protections.   ;D

Well I made it on a 6 pack and I installed the Stebel horn, A six did it since I started at 8 am, and didn't hit the beer until 11.

How'd it go for ya?

I'm glad you said "6 pack" instead of "beer" because "beer" and "Bud" in the same sentence....  LOL

know what you mean, Bud ain't my first choice, just used it for the effect. 

It went well, no problem with the horn, mounted it with Pepsx bracket.  I did the desmog, but still didn't see enough room for the horn under the tank.  I went for a test ride and it was sputtering some at low speed decel, looked at it later and I didn't put the hose from the front cylinder back on the air box, haven't had time to ride it again to see if that fixed the problem.
