Default Jetting

I just bought a&nbsp\\;2005 fat boy carburetor&nbsp\\;type and&nbsp\\;I've ordered my shop manual but will take some time to get here in Japan. I need to know what the stock jets are on the bike since they have been removed according to the owner when he bought Vance&amp\\;Hines softail big shots staggered exhaust and installed 45 pilot jet and 180 main jet. Its running rich and I'm not sure if those are the correct sizes or not. I've seen on the internet&nbsp\\;HSR45 or HS40. What does the HSR and HS mean? Glen&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

Stock was probably a 175 main and 45 pilot.With only pipes and no air mods a 180 main would make the bike run rich.
