My Member Bacca
Hi. Just joined. I have a 2000 Sportster Custom 1200C. It has about 48K on it. I am not the original owner so I don't know what been done on the bike. He died so no help there. It looks Brand New. Here is what I have found so far; The exhaust is V&H staggered Drag pipes with an added baffle in each pipe. The carb is an S&S. It is pre 2004 because it does not have the 3rd jet. The jets are 72 Main and 28 mid. More about the carb later. A Dyna ignition has been added along with the coil and bigger plug wires. The bike won't idle unless the it at 2000 rpms or better it pops and stumbles. Once at speed it runs like a scared rabbit. no misfires, no stumbling. Crack the throttle and it will push you off the seat. It is the load speed issues that are driving me nuts. So if one of you can help it would be greatly appreciated. Contact me and I can explain what has been tried and the results,
Thanks
Randy

Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA! 
Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!
Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.
And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with that others see at the bottom.
This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it.
