I just installed this on my 2002 Fxdwg Dyna wide glide, and it rubs on the cooling fin on the rear cylinder, anyone else have this problem?

Yes, many have this problem, myself included. I just took a small flat file and removed enough fin material to allow the carb to fully seat. Just take your time. No big deal! I have had this carb on '01 Fatboy for 10 years. It is a great improvement over POS cv carb. Good luck!

You'll have to take a file to the fins a bit to get a tight fit. You won't be able to see it once the carb is mounted.

It rubed on my 04 electraglide, you have to grind a little off the fins of both front and rear cylinders. Nothing to worry about just take a little at a time until you have ample clearance. Did it to mine and no problems for last few thousand miles. Great carb worth the extra work

I have a 2000 softail with the big bore kit and had a similar problem. Just use a file to carefully file down what you need for clearance so it doesn't rub.

I used all the stock components which was not recommended and I have not had any problems. It was a tight fit but you can manipulate the manifold a little to adjust.
1059721
Yup. Either file it down or chisel it. I actually used a straight slot screwdriver and a hammer to shave it bit by bit. Doesn't have to be custom, you can't even see it after you mount the carb.

on some models you have to grind off some of the cooling fin so it will fit properly.
1059723
that is common. just use a dremel and remove material from the fin that is hitting

There was a performance increase and great sound. I have vance and Hines tru dual head pipes as well, race tuner and it was dynoed, also Arlen ness big sucker air cleaner kit. Beefs up the hp and torque. Best pipes going had on 3 bikes. Good luck

Sounds like a head gasket to me. I can't think of any other place where oil and coolant passages run next to each other.Has the engine always had antifreeze in it? Or has someone run it for a time with just plain water?

It's always good to but I didn't. Their r two cats on the stock so it will flow out better regardless. When I first had install it made rasping sound from the flex but it's gone now.

the curve side piece is taking off 1 small cut on the inner lip of the fender and the air intake takes the place of the curve piece the one thing that I recommend and that I did was to install a piece of 3/8 hoes behind the new air intake at the windshield side to keep mud from being trapped.I'm going to give an email if someone wants a picture or to contact me because I think it hands down beats are be and can be return to stock very easily without any holes in the side of your fender. Questions ? pfistertj@AOL.com. I will send you a picture of the fender cut if you want.

I installed them on my 2015 CVO street glide and I did have to trim the heat shield opening to get enough clearance for the floor board mounting bracket. Not sure if it is just a CVO issue or all models but it was a simple fix.

B. Williams says: I purchased the Giant dual fit the first week in June. I absolutely love it. It's quiet and the flywheel is much smaller than the airdyne. I have been using it since I bought it and have not seen any grease at all. I suggest you locate a schwinn dealership near you to check it out. That's where I purchased mine.

i just purchased the sidewinder. it worked really well. one question.... little tiny air bubbles appear all around the seams of this thing. is that normal or is it leaking air? i would appreciate some opinions. thanks

Year and a half late to answer, but it might still help someone else...Mine squeaked. Took forever to find the cause. Was the connection on the center pole below/between the pedals, where the front and rear section connect. I sprayed the heck out of it with wd40 and tightened the crap out the 2 or 3 bolts that connect that area. Problem solved. SOUNDED like it was coming from the joints on the handles, but it was not. The torque from usage is what makes it squeak.

About the same as stock on the Sportsters and Dynas. There's no issue with scraping or rubbing when they cycle. May have to shim with a washer to line them up straight depending on the model they are going on.

I have heard of this problem before from other buyers. I have not had this problem. I would call Schwinn and ask them.

That sucks that your cooling pad is having issues, too. To be honest, I don't know where you can fix it with the warranty. I still place my laptop on top of the pad to give it a little better circulation, but I'm planning on buying a different pad in the future. I'm sorry I couldn't be any better help.

I don't recomend it due to very bad quality and made. Will affect downforce badly as fins are not alined properly. I would consider finding another seller that has similar product and better quality.

It is finned like the motor. The cooler covers the oil filter. The oil flows through the oil filter which is hot. The cooler acts like a heat sink, pulling heat out into the fins. It works , just dont expect miracles, but every little bit helps.

I would recommend you getting a tune. The factory tunes run lean as it is so I would seriously advise you to install a tune to compensate for added air flow

I installed it on a 2102 Wide Glide, 103 fuel injected, no problems taking off stock assembly.It gave a nice smooth look and increased MPG.

I have it on a 347 stroker engine so I don't hear it. I think it cools great for the engine. Yes I would buy it again.
