Jet Kits

So I just bought a set of Samson Street Sweeters for my '02 1200C. I'm also goin to get it jetted. Any suggestions on jet kits or does it really matter.

Honestly I'm not to sure exactly what I'm looking for so and advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I was told to order new gaskets as well so I did. Is there anything else I'll be needing for the pipes or jet kit? Thanks again.

Rubber down. Sky up.

Hi Wizzle73,
A jet kit can be purchased from your local dealer for your stock CV carb. They are not too expensive and you can tune your carb to run perfect with the exhaust you have. You may want to start out moderate and work your way through the jets until you get it perfect.
Thanks,
JR

Read up here some first:

Here's their main website:

They have excellent products, but customer service is sub par in my opinion.

I'll recommend the same thing I always do, you don't need one of those over priced jet kits all you need is a 45 slow jet and a 180 main jet, that's it nothing else.
