Alright.... A day after and a hundred miles,
The start up was much better, just one pump of the gas and bike fired up no issues, no choke needed.
Got bike up to temp and re adjusted the idle, tone is much nicer, 1st thru 4th gear bike pulls much stronger, 5th gear bike easily blows by slower moving vehicles, and still pulls well in 5th.
There is no decel pop when off the throttle, and bike pulls strong in what ever gear I'm in when accelerating.

Really wish I had done the carburetor swap a few years ago now... But it's done and bike runs like a new one for me.

almost a month with the Killer Mike Carb....
there is zero decal popping now!!
throttle response is wicked quick
gas mileage is 45'ish
bike pull thru all gears strong
I am pleased with the carb, it was more than the mik but cheaper than the s&s and it is a quick bolt on to the bike!1 worth it to me!!

It has gears and and Andrews 37 cam, big air sucker intake and v&h straight shot pipes.
Dude was dead on....
The carb was tuned straight out of the box only adjusted the idle
On your dyno sheet if you still have it, it should tell you your jet size? If not if it was done by a dealer they have it on file.
By my butt dyno I feel 10 hp more... Maybe 12 and more torque too

Hey question: Do you have any mods to your motor that you had the carb jetted for? I have a cam, pipe and heavy breather on my FXR and was thinking about one of his carbs, but don’t know the jet sizes and don’t want to mess up the tune (had it jetted on a dyno). I know he asks about mods, wonder if just letting him know the cam and pipe will be accurate enough to get the jetting right.
Tell him what you are running.. Engine Size, Model, Pipes, and Cams he knows how what you need or damn close for sure .. He will take care of Jet Sizes ..
