    I've put a walbro in the tank and I think it's killing the regulator.
    Its not a steady pressure when WOT probably varies from 50-80psi fluctuating all the time.

    Should I see a very steady fuel pressure what ever im doing or will it always fluctuate a few psi?

    Is the regulator in the fuel basket?

    Am I better off putting a aftermarket one on the frame (somewhere more accessible)?

    Fuel pressure should stay steady, 59 PSI if I remember correctly. Call Justin at JMB and discuss a complete fuel system with him.

    I run a three pump setup with a return style external regulator from JMB, it works perfectly and looks great at the same time, picture below shows it.

    As much as I'd love to go full fuel system, i just want to get it up and running and can amend it later down the road when I have more time/money!

    Cheers,

    Is that a H-D Brakeout or Rocker in the background? The front fork says Brakeout but the oil tank says Rocker. Lol

    Good eye! Its a highly modified Rocker. Since this photo is has had new wheels installed and is tough to recognize as a Rocker.

    Did it start as a FXCW or FXCWC? One of my former coworkers had a C with a 1 of 75 exotic paint set on it. He started painting everything black on it kinda like you did.

    It is a C. Next time Im out in the shed Id take a current picture of it. Looks nothing like a Rocker (thank god), but thats what 25k in upgrades will do...

    Now that I think about it. His bike was a regular Rocker that he put chrome covers on. Then traded the chrome stuff for black with a customer. Then he painted the power train black. That dude sure can piss money away. Lol

    Oddly enough we had another Rocker C come in with the exact same paint set.

    Can any one tell me where the regulator is? Is it in the fuel basket? I just want to swap it for a new one to get me going.
