    I recently purchased a 2001 Ultra Gilde and am enjoying it alot. When you roll the throttle off, the backfiring begins and continues until you come to a stop or add power. Any suggestions on how to correct this?:)

    +2; could be just loose flange nuts or one has backed off and is missing. Could also be loose connection at the muffler to head pipe; some hi temp RTV sealant will solve that problem.
