I apologize for breaking into this thread but being new I can't seem to find how to start a new thread...
I have a stock 1340 Heritage with Vance and Hines Longshots and a Hypercharger. I just snagged an S&S Super E and don't know if I need to change the jets for the open pipes and breather. the jets that came with it are .0295 and .072...anybody with similar setup or other help would be appreciated.
I've already seen the S&S jet specs so don't message me them.

As for the jetting Yea that will be a good start. Get yourself a few sets of NGK BRP5ES plugs at Advance auto for like 2.49 each. (great plug by the way, Evo's respond well with them) between jet changes put on a good 100 mile's (If the response of the throttle feels good) to be able to put a recognizable burn on the plugs and then check out some of the plug reading websites and you should be good to go. The biggest thing is being to lean and getting detonation. That would be audible and visible (little pepper like specs on the porcelain way down inside the plug. good luck... One other tip. don't lug the motor. Won't get a good read...

If it has an adjustable breather jet then those jets will work for you.
I wouldn't use the hypercharger if I were you.

agreed on the hyper charger....
Think I figured out what you meant. Is it the external air bleed for the main jet?

The older style carbs (pre '04) just had a hole in the body of the carb.

thanks to all and its a 2006 so yes an adjustable breather jet...what's wrong with the Hypercharger. It came with this, first year out 1986 "Cream-Puff", signal red and vintage white and the chrome Hypercharger sets it off...seriously... though a few others did tell me to pull and cap the vacuum hose to it.

I don't remember the correct term right now but if you flip the body of the carb over and see a main jet (0.40 I believe) towards the rear and kind of recessed then it has an adjustable breather jet.

That would be correct. Its used to help decrease the chance off a rich mixture when the intermediate and main overlap... Usually around 2700-2800 rpm..
