Default Re-jetting stock carb

Hey all.
2002 Road King FLHR, carbed.
So, i have replaced my stock slip-on pipes with V&H Big Shots True Duals and the stock intake with Arlen Ness Stage 1 Big Sucker and i was hoping somebody here could guide me to what size jets i need to install.
All help will be appreciated.

the CV carb is easily tuned.

many of us drill the slide air bleed to .125" and swap the needle for an N65 sporty needle.

details and tuning tips at

then CV carb tuning and CV carb mods link on the right side of the page

I used 45 slow jet and 180 main jet on 02 Fatboy with CV carb. There's little more to it than just changing jets. Here's a good link.

I always did well with leaving the stock jets, back out the idle screw 1 1/2 turns, and install a sporster needle. Know as the Joe Minton method. I'm sure if you Google it you would find it.

Just rebuilt the CV carb on my 2000 EG and used the CV Performance kit. Ended up with a 46 pilot jet with a 190 main jet. While I had it apart, I replaced the needle with one from CV Performance. Also replaced the accelerator pump diaphram and spring, the slide (mine was badly worn), the intake seal, and the choke cable. All the seals for float bowl, etc. came with the kit. Also swapped out the mixture screw for the thumb style to make adjustments easier.

I wrote a post about the process here:
