jet help

Was wondering if anyone could give some advice. I have a 00 FXDX and running v&h short shots with no baffels and a arlen ness big sucker intake. Bike runs fine but has a small cough every now and then. Did not change any jets but I know that they need to be. Anyone running close to the same that can advise on what size jets would be best?

46 slow,185 or 190 main .don't forget to adjust the mixture screw.If you wnt to run better under 3500rpm,get a pair of Khromewerks drag pipe baffles.will still be loud,but will run much better.
