New Triple X carb install, now backfires

[chaingunner]

Yes, I've been VERY impressed with the input from Bob (IE: TAZMAN) since installing the carb. I hope people that read my posts about the carb and the backfiring are not turned away from dealing with Triple X! It's easy for a company to do well when all is going as expected, but it's a true test when the company has to step up to the plate and deal with a customers questions and concerns.

My first email to Bob at Triple X went out on a Saturday night, and Sunday morning there was his reply, along with his phone number in case I needed to speak with him!

Since getting his input I've gotten the bike riding pretty well, and once the new pipes are installed and the bike's dyno'd, I'm sure it will run GREAT!

I'm very impressed with the new carb as far as workmanship and appearance, and have little doubt it will perform as well as it looks once it's professionally dialed in.

I for one welcome Bob and Triple X to this forum, and am a VERY satisfied customer!

To tell you the truth I was questioning my ability to deal with this, but after Bob's post and show of support, I have no issue, I WILL be purchasing one soon. :2thumbs:

Yep, you just can't beat their support!

I'll post the dyno numbers this coming Saturday once it's done. Should be interesting to say the least!

Well, I would have had dyno results today of my bike with the new Bassani pipes installed, but the pipes do not fit! Turns out tthey hit the foot peg, or more accurately, the rear brake reservoir.

So it looks like I'll need to get the 2.5" forward control extension kit in order to make room for the pipes. Does anybody know of a cheaper way of getting the needed space outside of shelling out the $245 for the extension kit?

I'm sure how much its hitting, but I bought a front right side brake control on the cheap to try a test and it worked pretty good. I needed about a 1/4 inch for my pipes so I just ground it off and re polished it and it worked fine.
