Looks like you got as much comfort as the stock seat provides.
You may like the noise of that pipe, if its too loud to keep the peace with your neighbors youll find the HD Dyna muffler produces a healthy exhaust tone AND is easy to tune/jet the carb to.
YOur little Missfit has a few common, built in hassles. The petcock is a POS & the cam chain tensioner can cause an engine destruction. If the miles are approaching 15,000, its time to go look inside there,,Verslagen sells a modified tensioner that squeezes the last miles out of the cam chain AND prevents the tensioner from spitting its guts into the spinning gears..
If tinkering is your game, youve just embarked on a game you can win easily,.
Welcome to the forum.,
Thanks for the info.
Basically the wife will have all the comfort she needs. LOL it's her bike to learn on.
As far as the neighbors go I don't sweat that much. They all love me. I rode a 97 Ultra with straight pipes for a couple years and now I have a 86 EVO bagger with a Thunderheader. I've been there for 22 years so they pay me no nevermind.
I'll look into the petcock early on. I hate vacuum operated petcocks anyhow. As far as the cam chain tensioner she only has a little over 4700 miles on the clock but I will check it out none the less. I know what a cluster the cam chain tensioners are in the twin cams and i don't want any issues with the little lady getting out and breaking down.
Thanks for the welcome.
