Still, my exhaust back pressure isn't quite right even with baffles now in my straight pipes, so I'm going to buy some additional exhaust tips or something to help me tune my exhaust better. I believe I'm moving in the right direction on engine performance by increasing back pressure. And then once I got the exhaust where I want it, and the smog stuff is correctly removed, I can deal with rejetting the carb.Not much to doing it. All you need to do is keep an atmospheric tank and carb bowl vent. Plugging off the AIR intakes to the reed valves stops the pop on decel

- September 12, 2015, 20:42:39 PMYeah, I'm just full of questions this weekend! So evidently I have a California bike – it has the emissions canister and everything underneath the right side cover – does anybody know how to do the Desmog because I don't need that stuff here in Washington state. I know that some of those vacuum hoses have to be rerouted or plugged or something, and it's way above my pay grade but I would like to do it because, well just because who likes a lot of extra junk under the hood that you don't have to have. 
I know that for Valkyries and some other bikes there is a Desmog kit with detailed instructions – any such thing out there for 800 Drifters to your knowledge?
