What kind of Evo Sportster do you use?
For this thread we are using BF Josh’s 2002 Sportster “S” model with dual plug heads. Other models and years will vary, but the concept will be the same. If you asked ten people how to do it, you’d probably get twenty answers, this ain’t gospel, it’s just the way I did it.
What kind of rewire does an Evo sporty use?
On Josh’s stock bike there were no fancy sensors or other “nanny” switches that needed to be looped or disabled. This may be the case on later model bikes. We ditched the VOES petcock for an old Pingle one, and capped any open vacuum connections on carb or manifold with high quality rubber caps.
