The 45 pilot should work fine.
If I dont specify and tell them what mods I have what number jets will they send?

I would go with the jets at your local HD shop. I have the stock needle and paid about $5 or $6 per jet if I remember correctly (I bought a 175 main jet at the same time for a different project. My bike had a 180 main in it when I bought it). 180 main and 45 pilot should get you right where you need to be. I live in metro Atlanta so our jetting should be similar. I run the same jetting as listed above and have V&H Straight Shots with a Hi flow air filter and the bike is a 2005 1200 Custom. 2.25 turns out on my mixture screw.

I went ahead and ordered the cv performance kit. It was the deluxe kit. I am not really sure what size jets they will send me but in the notes I listed my mods and hopefully they will send me the right stuff. I guess if I need some more jets I can just go to the Dealer and pick some up right?

Cool well hopefully I will get all that stuff in this week and I can get it done and ride. Have not ridden in a month and a half.

Don't hate me for resurrecting an old thread with an question that's been asked a billion times...

I've read every "rejet" result on here, and they all seem to point to a 45 slow and 180 main + 2.5 turns out on the a/f screw, when you have a stage 1 ac and drags. IIRC, the 180 is stock for my 2005 883c, and I just ordered a 45 and 46 (just in case) from cvp. Planning on doing the rejet as soon as they come in.

SouthernGent, how'd your rejet go? any hiccups or advice? (I know you have a 1200, but still...)
