96 big dog vintage classic

[Silverdollar]

Can anyone tell me how much fork oil to put in the forks? Thank you so much

On my 96 vintage it calls for 9.5 to 10.2 but i put 11.5 per fork leg in mine and it rides way better....also i used 20 weight oil

Yes it has edelbrock heads...i ended running some vance and hines short shots on mine...not a fan of the shorter exhaust on it really but everything i put on it i had problem breaking the rear exhaust mount...i even made one out of nothing but rubber and broke it...i just let the short shots hang free with no rear mount...they are bolted together but not to the frame and i havent had any trouble...i changed the baffles in it but i will have to find out what i put in it...give me a few minutes and i will try to find out

I ended up putting these baffles in it to quieten it down a little more

Okay thanks I got drag pipes on there now and I just can't seem to get it right with the carburetor tuning it's either rich or lean

 

[Silverdollar]

Do they sound good?

Yeah that little 80 inch motor is quite aggravating to get it jets just right...i do believe im running a .0295 and a 72 main...one thing about that motor it likes back pressure...drag pipes will make it harder to jet

Yeah i like the way they sound but i down run it hard so i dont know what they sound like if you stand all in it...i just purdy along on it
