Ordered CV-Performance Premium Tuning Kit
Well today I stumbled across the CVP Tuning kit website and ordered the CVP Premium Tuning kit due to the fact my carb still coughs. 
I figured this could be the solution after reading some of the reviews from customers. I also am very eagar to wrench on my own bike and want to stay away from the stealerships. Anyone have any bits of information from their CVP install?
Regards,
Clayton

It's one of a number of brands available and should enable you to improve things. You actually end up with more parts than you can use, so just buying a few jets from a dealer or indy is probably cheaper, but the kit hardly breaks the bank!

Yes, just go to the CVperformance.com site and follow their instructions to do it right.

I installed the kit in my bike a little better than a year ago. I bought the 06 883 wrecked-totaled front end, engine was fine. I took the carb apart and gave it a thorough cleaning as the bike had been sitting a year and the inside of the carb was varnished. The carb still sneezed and performance was terrible. After purchasing the CVP kit, I followed the instructions, used the jets that corresponded with the chart CVP sent me. It was like I put a new carb on the little monster. The sneezin was gone and throttle response was way smooth. I drilled the hole in the vacuum piston area as per the optional instructions and it worked out well for me. If you are not sure as to whether or not you are comfortable with this - many say don't do it, others like me did it and it is fine - then by all means don't drill. The CVP site has great videos for the install. Along with their written instructions, you shouldn't have a bit of problem. You're going to think You got a new bike !!!

I put the CVP kit on my '01 XLH "Beasly" at the same time that I added an SE A/C. (Beasly already had drag pipes when I purchased him.) The difference was palpable. He had been sluggish before. However, with the CVP kit installed, he went from merely quick to having "GO FAST!" throttle.
I think the entire installation took me about an hour. The only criticism that I have for CVP is that the instructions should have more and higher quality pictures.

I also have one of those kits, not from CVP but the same stuff inside. I hear a lot of folks say not to use the spring either as it screws things up.
Have any of you that have used the kit had any probs when using the spring ?

I used the whole shabang also. The entire kit cleaned up the performance of the entire carb.
