S&S Carb & Pipes 883R
Hey Guys,
I just bought my son an 06 883 R sporty that has been sitting for a couple of years. It's totaly stock with 1200 miles on it. I began by ripping off the carb because of coughing and running like *** so after searching here on this site I was able to drill the carb for air screw adjustment (Thanks) got it running pretty dam nice for him. Here is my question has any one put an S&S carb on these 883 and seen great results? We just bought Vance Hines shortys staggered pipes and He wants a hypercharger for it so I'm unsure if I should mess with stock carb and rejet or spend a couple of bucks and do an intake and carb. Thoughts? If any one has rejetted carb any good starting points for this set up.

Welcome to HDF from the UK! I have an S&S motor and carb in one of my bikes and it runs fine and am very happy with it. However the c/v carb is excellent and will feed a bike, even with a lot of mods. So I agree, stay with it. There are style things like pipes and air cleaners, then there are ones that will give excellent results. There are better alternatives that will give a much nicer and more rideable bike!
Welcome aboard & congrats on the R.
I don't understand why they went with a dual exhaust over the 2 into 1 on the newer R's. The older R's had a GREAT set of pipes from the factory.
Anyway, if you're looking to do performance mods I suggest one at a time. If you run in to tuning issues it will be much easier to track down.
And not to bust your ***** but if the V&H pipes you got are Short Shots then you'll be chasing your tail trying to squeeze more performance out of it. A Hypercharger is even more of a drag than the Short Shots.
CV carbs are great. For the all around best performance (on the outside of the motor) a stage 1 air cleaner (uses stock cover) and a nice set of slip ons on the stock pipes will be the best route. When you start adding parts that let it breathe in & out any more you'll have to upgrade the internals to take full advantage of them, It becomes a perpetual money pit...but fun to do.
