Gadgets Page does it again

Sgt. Country · 06-30-2012, 07:42 PM

On the 26th I installed a set of V&H Bagger Duals on my 1999 Nomad, I had a lot of popping on decel and when shifting gears

. After checking everything, gaskets, leaks, etc. I stated looking at other causes. I found a section in Gadgets Pages about MARBLEING, this was simple I removed the filters and all associated parts and took the hose loose to the air valve, put a marble in and reinstalled the hose. While at it I decided to plug the hoses to the reed valves. The front hose was loose so I put a marbe in and reinstalled the front hose. I found the rear reed valve hose completely off the valve. I put a marble in to plug the hose and reinstalled the hose. Now...NO MORE popping of any kind just the beautiful sound of singing pipes

. Everybody have a great evening. Take care, ride safe and God bless.

Its a fantastic sight with a wealth of knowledge, too bad more don't read it regularly.

If you're going to marble it, you might as well add coasters.

Yep, removing the system and installing coasters is another day..Ride for a while, at this point she is running excellent. There isn't even the slightest pop.

Hi Virg, I keep the tires at the recommended pressure of 50 psi. I haven't had any problems with the unit.
