Hello All,
Just bought my first Harley and am about to put true dual headers on, V&H slip ons, and SE stage 1 air cleaner (going open filter). I have been looking around the forms and am looking for a few suggestions. I am planning to get the premium tuning kit from CV Peformance for the mixture screw, better needle, idle adjustment screw and everything else - https://cv-performance.com/harley-ca...ium-tuners-kit
What I am wondering is what size main and pilot jets does everyone think I should be using? Should I follow the modifcation reccomendation of Night Rider such as the slide modifcation? - http://nightrider.com/biketech/hd_cv...tm#vacuum_port
Anything else that should be done right away?

I use the nightrider mods to good effect on a number of bikes.
there is no need to buy a "kit"- nightrider gives HD part numbers.
kawasaki and triumph also used the keihin CV carb and have jet and needles too
once you have a handful of parts- the tricky part is tuning- by being methodical and following the tips, you'll end up with a great running bike for $30
I replace the float bowl screws with allens which I could easily get off at the side of the road to swap jets and a little hand mirror

when you are chamfering slide, take the time to get a good polish on the rails so that the slide is more able to slide freely.
I've never had good result from any f the spring kits - once you drill the slide air bleed to .125" the stock spring is fine...great even.
there is always a tendency to go too rich, careful testing will get you right.

I have an 03 Electra Glide Classic
From what I have gathered, the Joe and Nightrider method are the same thing... Nightrider gives you options to use the 88 sporty needle or the oem needle with spacers, and then a few additional mods. It also seems that the deluxe tuning kit from CV Performance is a great buy as they have the 88 sporty needle, lighter slide spring, EZ-mixture screw, hex bolts, gasket, 1/8" bit, and if you choose the custom package you can specify the pilot/main jets. - https://cv-performance.com/cvp-harle...uxe-tuners-kit
So I am leaning towards the Joe/Nightrider method using the deluxe kit
