Going with a Triple X Carb

[Trashman]

Well I've decided to put a Triple X Carb on my 04 Chop. I currently have a stock S&S G. My riding style dictates putting on a fully modified E with Thunder jet. Will I need a new manifold going from the G to an E? Any issues with throttle cables? Any issues staying with stock BDM breather? Appreciate your help. I plan on calling Triple X this week to place the order.

I say do the XXX G carb. You will love it. Just bolt it on. You will love it. I cruise sometimes, get hard on it sometimes, its all good.

 

[McLovin]

Yes, the "E" manifold is different from the "G" manifold, will need to change it. No, the cables should work fine AFAIK. I think you should call Bob @ XXX and he will give you all the details...

 

[Staffy]

Why swap to the "E" - it has a smaller intake bore which should translate to less power - correct?

Either way - you will enjoy the ride. Bob does great work on these carbs. :2thumbs::2thumbs:

I started to go there, but he did say:

so I figured he has a specific style of riding that requires a smaller carb...

Does not make sense to me - a stock "g" is 44mm and a modified "e" is 42mm. (sure the booster kit and accel pump will help but...) in my opinion a modified "e" is comparable to a stock "g" - either way Bob at tripple X will advise BEST.

performance aside - as far as bling goes this is it....(chrome or powder coated :2thumbs

go with the G and dump the E

 

[Raywood]

I think where he is going is with Triple X statement on their website that's been posted here plenty of times.

"The E (42.5mm) carb will provide faster velocity resulting in better street riding/performance."
"The G will provide "larger volume" resulting in better top end performance."

One of the reasons I've stayed with the E carb. I like the gas mileage also. But to each their own.

I can see where the E would be better for drivability. I don't have any problems with my G that would make me want to change necessarily. Gofordave on the site dynoed his bike with a super g and then the taz xxx and didn't gain any power.

 

[Trashman]

Damn guys, now I'm on the fence! Alot of good input here. I did stop by a week ago and talked with Bob, his shops about 30 miles away from me. At the time I thought I was running a Super E. After a pm with Ray, I looked again and it is a Super G. My discussion with Bob at the time was going from a stock E to the modified E. In viewing the threads on the site about E vs G, and E giving more low end performance and the G giving midrange to WOT performance my thought was my riding style would be more of an modified E vs the G. It's beginning to sound like I should stay with the Triple X modified G with Thunderjet. And definitely leaning toward the chrome! Any additional input/discussion is appreciated.

ouch! :down:

whats the cost of that animated G?

I'm running a XXX "G" with Thunderjet added. Thunderjet just adds a third circuit for top end fuel control. This normally kicks in around 4500 RPM. Some bikes have a little stumble around 2500 RPM or they lean out on the top end when using the normal 2 circuit S&S. Jets just don't seem to solve the probem at both ends. Adding the third circuit seems to solve this. At least that's the way it looked on the Dyno and watching the Air/Fuel Analyzer.

Only down side is my gas mileage is way down after adding the Thunderjet. Could be I just can't stay out of the throttle.

My understanding is that higher fuel velocity at lower RPM's improves the motor torque. Using the same volume of air, the velocity slows down with large ports, valves and carberator venturi. It's all a matter of trade-offs. Personally I did not notice any loss of low end torque when doing the XXX treatment to my "G" carb but I never tested it before and after on a Dyno.

As stated above, Bob is your best resource for carberation suggestions.

 

[T.Byrd]

Trashman why are you so bent on the thunderjet these xxx G's perform very well with out it.And I do mean perform well!

 

[Staffy]

The tripple X carbs perform well in my experience and I would definately recommend them. I have two, one in chrome and the other black powder coated - both have done very well for me - performance and bling are G@@D :2thumbs::2thumbs:

I cannot comment on the "thunderjet" but I agree with HDLARRY's input.

Bottom line - JUST DO IT :up::up::up:

Your next post - some pic's and comments with the tripple X :lol::lol::lol:

$695.50 not chromed & $795.50 chromed.

 

[bdmridgeback]

I love my XXX G carb and also weighed out buying the E.

I decided bigger was better!!! I love it and it is smooth as hell and responsive!

 

[stlmikie]

If you are looking for performance get the PSI. Bet you ass it will do better than the xxx.

 

[Trashman]

Ordered the Mini Taz (Chrome) Modified G from Triple X this morning. Will put it on the bike next Friday/Saturday. I looked at PSI as an option but like all of us I'm on a budget as well. As mentioned before Triple X is about 30 minutes away from me and I personnaly went in and talked with Bob. Easy going guy, no sales pressures and more than willing to share his knowledge. Thought I'd help out another Texan. I appreciate ALL the input and personnaly thank Raywood. I'll post pics in the near future! Next project, this winter, cam upgrade!

 

[Cutter]

The CAM is a must, especially to optimize that Taz, I assume you've read the many threads on the different choices...
I definately needed a better flowing air cleaner than the stock intake with a K&N, made a huge difference with my torque throughout all ranges my Tazn and Dave Mackey CAM(.595).
