black mac

[Chaos]

Just scored a NOS never used black MAC slip-on for my K75s for $90 on ebay!  Delivered today, riding tomorrow.  My old Lufty was about ready to puke it's guts, this is a godsend (hate the stocker, ucking fugly and sounds like a frigging sewing machine) And it came packed in newspapers from 11/91, anyone need a wired cell?

Those were the high tech days.  Motorola had come out with the flip phone by then.

Curiosity ? did your R&R with a new mica type material OEM BMW header gasket ?  One time use only for the old one, ___  flakes off upon removal. 

If NOT, you may suffer downhill backfire pops around 2500 to 3000 K on the tach.  75's "all do that" to certain extent but worse if you cheap out on the gasket. BTDT

Ya, Lufty is a howling bitch when you open it up. Ha, I ran a Supertrapp for 2 years, too LOUD, reverted to stock after annoying my neighbors.  Hardley Ablesome pirates thought it was cool though.

I remember those BIG phones in a bag, read a blast from the past.

been there got the T shirt/hamburger.  OEM is better in spite of the K robbery price from BMW.  

duuno, a cut up aluminum can DIY/homegrown fabricated "cheap bastard solution" functions quite well. Minor back-snapping but vastly improved from NO gasket at all.  

Ever dick with an intake setting ?  I have !  Balanced on a flow bench, read experienced wrench twisters ONLY ! TPS setting is worthy of a chase, you should hear a click when it shuts down below 2000 K.

Haven't had a gasket there of any sort since I put a SuperTrapp P.O.S on it back in '88. Backfiring isn't a problem so I never worried about it.  I think CC messed with the airflow (they had a dyno at the rally) but that was a long time ago.  I figure, short of nitrous or a turbo there's no easy way to get much more ooomph out of that lump.  So if I can't make it fast, at least I can make it look & sound cool.  Couple hp up or down doesn't really matter.
