Is rejeting needed?
I've read in other bike forums that if you modify the stock exhaust of any bike, lets say to remove the baffles, install an aftermarket sport exhaut. you will have to change the jets on the carburetors, is that true??.

I was wondeing if i buy a new set of exhausts for my wing, will i have to mess with the mixure screws or the jets?

Thanks :o

William,
Most aftermarket exhuast systems will specify whether or not you need to change jetting.
Alot of the pipes for our wings though louder are often designed with slightly more back pressure (internally) elimanating (ms) the need for bigger jets.
If you check their website you can find this info...... 8)

generally, no you do not, carbs are pretty forgiving.... now if you have fuel injection you will need to remap the chip... but that doesn't apply to these "olde-wings"
