Dynojet or not?
Hi, just got a Firestorm with high blue flame cans with removable baffles. Love it to bits so far but should I dynojet it and put k+n filter or leave it as is? Thanks in advance, m3gt2

hi mate, i think most people will tell you its down to personal prefferences, mines standard other than microns and i love it, its fast enough for our roads and gets me from a to b no worries, others have spent loads of time modding there's and love them, so entirely up to you.m3gt2 wrote:Hi, just got a Firestorm with high blue flame cans with removable baffles.

98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road. The other 2% made it home 

Re: Dynojet or not?
Thanks for that, not sure now, seen a kit for sensible money. If I try and dont like can I revert back to standatd or when they are fitted is there no going back? Cheers
Re: Dynojet or not?
it can go back to standard mate, but if you do it you'll like it anyway so just keep all the original parts just in case.m3gt2 wrote:Thanks for that, not sure now, seen a kit for sensible money.

Re: Dynojet or not?
Thanks for that mate, do you think I would need to pay and have some dyno runs done on it after fitting it?alec wrote:it can go back to standard mate, but if you do it you'll like it anyway so just keep all the original parts just in case.m3gt2 wrote:Thanks for that, not sure now, seen a kit for sensible money.

m3gt2, the Firestorm is quite susceptible to any after market air filter change, especially a K&N. If you do fit a K&N you'll most likely gain a flat spot in the rev range, right where you don't want it.
To get the best from any after market freer flowing air filters, freer flowing cans like you have, yes it will need to be set up on a dyno. You'll probably be able to get it close yourself, but final adjustments will require some dyno runs.

Re: Dynojet or not?
A good dyno operator will be able to dial out the K+N flat spot easily, and you'll get a better-pulling bike as a result.
But are you sure it hasn't had this done already, if you bought it secondhand with the cans already on?
If you get it fitted but then don't like it, quickest way to revert is to keep an eye out for a standard set of carbs on EBay and just swap them over.
But you'll want to keep them.... slippery slope of modding here we come

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I asked him when I spotted the kit cheap and he said that they dont work very well on twins and the bike doesnt need it (which to be fair it doesnt but if I can have more, I want moretony.mon wrote:A good dyno operator will be able to dial out the K+N flat spot easily, and you'll get a better-pulling bike as a result.
