Exclamation Replacing the carb...1992 Softail Heritage

Hello my Softail friends!

A friend of mine owns a 1992 Softail Heritage...he wants to replace the carb...what are some good replacement options? Where can he buy a used carb (that's not eBay)? Aftermarket?

Thanks!

Since he's not wanting to purchase eBay (seems odd, best deals there) that limits the places he can buy a used carb.

Check the forum classifieds and your local shops. Might be able to snag a CVK that someone swapped out or something. Chopper and bobber shops will be your best bet for finding miscellaneous used parts.

Well it's more like he doesn't KNOW how to. I ran a quick search on eBay on "used carb 1992 softail heritage" but got no results...only aftermarket options, but no used OEM stuff...

Thanks BigMike for your suggestion!
