Carb Uprade

My bike is totally stock for the exception of pipes. I need to do a carb upgrade (air filter kit, recal, etc.) What do you guys suggest?

RE: Carb Uprade

If your bike is carburated, there's nothing to "recalibrate"....you may need to rejet and adjust the idle mixture though (can be done in about 10 minutes)...If it's fuel injected, get the Vance and Hines Fuel Pak.....for a breather, get something like a K&N or Arlen Ness Big Sucker...pretty much the same thing.

When I asked about a carb upgrade...it means I have a carburator, not EFI. I'm asking for the best kit to recalibrate the keihin with something like a CV Recalibration kit or a Dynojet Thunder Slide kit. I will definitely have to go with a Big Sucker as far as air consuption goes. Back when I had my FXD, I threw away the OEM pipes, did a recal and air filter upgrade and that baby woke up. I didn't do the work since it was upgraded at the dealer...but whatever they did was pretty cool.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just want to make sure I get the right needles and spring to get the best throttle response out of the keihin.
