Can anyone recommend an exact kit or exact jet numbers?

45 pilot, 170 main. Pop your carb off, take the float bowl off, the jets are easily accessible. Don't forget to remove the plug over the idle mix screw so you can fine tune your idle/off idle.

Try contacting CV performance for jets. Or, just buy them at the stealer, can't be that expensive, just two small pieces of brass.

Maybe for an 883, but for the OP's Stage 1 1200 he'll want to start with a #45 pilot & #180 main.

Oops, I thought he had a 883, 180 main for a 1200.

Should I just order the two jets or should I get a kit with all the jets and springs and seals/gaskets ?

Otherwise, CV Performance has everything you would need: http://www.cv-performance.com/

CV Performance has great kits and other carb parts. Their directions for the carb jet kits are very good. I didnt think I'd be able to do a re jet but after reading and going with the CVPerformance kit everything went very easy.

So through CV performance you can basically get a stage 2 jet kit? I guess they ask you info on your bike and build the kit to the specs you gave them?

They will, but I recommend you tell them which jets you want with the kit. The jets are pretty cheap, so I would specify the 45 and 180 as a start and if you want to be sure you have the bases covered add a 175 and 185 just in case the main jet needs a little more or less. The 45 pilot should work fine.
