Order one before you even read this lol! My bike was running really rich and smelled like gas pretty bad. I was going to do a pair valve mod so I decided to do this at the same time since it was all going to be apart. The directions to install the a/f screw from Glen was awesome. It takes abit over an hour to do it. Make sure you use a small mirror and actually watch the screw turn out. Screw it all the way in to seat it and then watch it turn out 2.5 turns. After I did the pair mod and dialed it in 2.5 turns. I simply twist the trottle afew times and bingo... Like everyone says don't use the choke!!! My bike is running better than ever and no gas smell or black smoke on start up. Its probably one of the best mods you can do!

Thanks for the review. I will be ordering one of these when the cash rolls around.

[Trail Boss]

I got one of the first to be made, and it is well worth the money. Once it is added you can make adjustments anytime and anywhere, no tools needed. Recommend it to all.

Installed k&n air filter in my stock 1300R, needed a/f tweaked. Installed perm. a/f screw from glens vtx garage, makes adjustments soooo easy. Screw handle sits just below idle adjusting screw. I found that 2-1/2 turns out still a little rich, without this new tool i would have had to waste a lot more time dissassembling and readjusting. worth every penny. Best a/f tool on the market in my opinion, easy too follow instructions included.

[Chopper Hardwear]

I just received my A/F tool from Glen's VTX Garage. I have never been able to get all the "popping" to go away. I have attempted adjust the A/F mix in the past with a little tool from a rejet kit and only burned my hands and no luck. I adjusted my A/F today with the tool without removing anything-I have a hypercharger so I could get to it. Anyway, I started with a couple turns, no exact chemistry, and took it for a test. My only regret is that I didn't come up with the idea. If you own a 1300 and plan to do anything to the exhaust or air intake, save yourself some headaches and buy it now!!!!!!!

[w3jnp]

I have one and consider it money well spent event though I've not had to adjust the A/F once I got it dialed in. The point is that I'll be able to do so with ease should the need ever arrise.

[boatnsc]

Put my A/F perm screw on last week, went what l thought was 2-1/2turns bike runs great but my mpg went to 34.. maybe l hotdogged it to much we will see next tank. Then l will lean it back , easy with the Glens Screw

[Sixgun]

+1 on the permanent screw. I, too, found that 2.5 turns out is too much for me. I'm at about 2 turns out. No more flat spots on WOT and I can't make it backfire if my life depended on it. Of course, I ordered in late Fall '09, so this coming riding season will be the true test. Actually, the true test will be the Beartooth and Chief Joseph, to name a few, as I will be riding them in August as part of my Sturgis journey.

Is it Spring yet????? I got an itch and can't scratch it!

[Mondorah]

Glen's perm A/F tool is awesome. Put mine on last fall. Made a world of difference!

[scotlinkon]

I've installed the clutch relief and it does just what it says "relief!" A lot less effort on shifting. I have the A/F adjustment (permanent) too from Glen and I'll be installing that when I'm ready to tackle some other things under the tank. I expect that to work just as well.

Hey, I want to order the A/F Permanent Mod, but don't know which size to order...I have a 2004 1300C with a Hypercharger and the Pair Mod...Also put a Stebel Air horn mounted just below the Hypercharger...So, should I install the 5" or the 6 " A/F Mod?....

Honestly either one will be fine, the 6" one reaches all the way down to the block where the cylinders meet. So the 5" one would be about an inch higher.... Either way it will be very easy to reach and very easy to adjust....

I love mine BTW!

Measure your clearance. Go from the bottom of your carb strait down. (Backside of your air intake.) If 5" will give you room to make the adjustments with the tool...cool. If not, go 6".

Yeah! What he said.

[SPARKP]

Okay after reading all these comments from you guys with stock air boxes and after market pipes I went ahead and ordered one this morning. I had always thought this was needed for the guys who had opened up the air flow. We'll I guess I'll find out when it gets here.

[jmeon11]

YEP, Mine should be here on monday, then I can finally put my bike together and take some pictures of my "winter Mods" for you guys, I havn't herd one negative thing about glens tool..and I needed something like it...so why not buy it? right.

[doug48317]

The only negative thing I found was, it took me far to long to make life easy by buying one.

[CWCobra]

Get the permanent one; I wasted $35 buying the temporary model, cause I can't reach my screw due to hoses, etc.

(wonder if Glen takes trade-ins?)

Glenn's Permanent A/F Tool is for anyone with a 1300 no matter the mods.

VTX 1300's are Notoriously Lean from the factory. This was done to pass emissions standards.

Once you get your hands on it tho, you can give the stock setting about 1/8 to 1/4 turn out to richen it up and "wake up" the engine a bit. This doesn't really affect mileage in a drastic manner.

If you "open up the airflow" with an aftermarket Air Intake or Decapitate the Stock Air Box, you will need to do the SCAR Mod.

This should help you with it, it looks hard but it's not really. (the shims are just #4 washers you can get at any hardware store)

Just got my permanent a/f in yesterday evening. from getting the stock a/f out to screwing the permanent a/f in and 2.5 out was about 11 min, and I was looking for the stock spring and washers for about 4 of those mins lol. thanks doug

[unitask]

I have one on order, but can anyone tell me if this mod is sufficient or do I have to do the scar mod? I thought that this would do the same thing...I have recently installed Cobra Slashdowns and plan on doing the Spyker Mod to my air box.
Also can anyone tell me how to find this post again? I am kind new, can you tell?

I have the permanant A/F screw and COBRA slashdowns. You will want to remove the pair valve if you stay with the stock airbox. Not sure what is needed if you modify the airbox.

Remove the PAIR valve system no matter what airbox you use....Exhaust will sound ALOT better afterwards....Until you do an airbox mod, leave the carb internals alone...No need to do anything in there with the stock airbox...Just a small adjustment on the A/F screw is all you'll need for now..When you do the airbox, then you'll need to do some carb tuning to compensate for the additional airflow...

[bachatazo83]

i ordered it and received the permanent A/F screw from Glens in a few days after placing the order, Thanks !. I want to install it but i ordered some carb stuff (float gasket and stuff) just in case i needed when i tear into it and they said i would received the parts next week

guess gonna have to wait to clean the carb another week.

As said above with just the pipes you only need to do the a/f adjustment, but when you do the spyker mod you will need to do the scar mod, I'm not sure how many shims? but I'd say start with 1 and go from there.

Installing Glenns tool is easy and you'll be glad you did...

[one_fair_shot]

Ordered the permanant A/F screw today!

[rgrahn]

Got mine the other day in the mail. Only thing left to order (prior to our Tech Session in May) is the Edelbrock filter from Doug's.

Can't wait to do Pair Valve removal, Scar mod, AF Screw mount (sounds kinky doesn't it?), Valve adjustment and Edelbrock filter install. Heck I probably will do oil change too while bike is in various stages of work!
