Default Carb Jetting

My Samson Cholos should be here next week. My motor is completely stock and would like to hear recommendations on what jets and needle I should use once I put the pipes on? One member said to go up one on the pilot and switch to a 1988 needle, but id like to hear other opinions. I would also like to know what to use if I put a AN Big sucker on?

The bike is a 2000 FLSTC

I have a 2000 FLSTF with V&H true duals and intake and cam and I am running a 46 pilot and 180 main. It's a tad lean off idle, gonna go to a 48 pilot

Thanks kkiley! I just pulled the carb off and everything is stock. 45p and 190m. I'm going to buy a 46, 47p and a 185, 180m.

Stick the 46p and 185m in it and go from there. That should get you a nice balance
