A few years ago, 2009 ish, I bought the CV-P tuner kit for my Stage one basic upgrade to my stock 2004 883 Sportster.

The kit as you probably know is needle, emulsion tube, jets. Also went with the V-Ductor, fuel,elbow, and Ez-Just mixture screw

I spoke to Ken (via e-mail) a few times, and I told him I was going to be doing a 1200 upgrade at some point too, so he suggested which jets to add to my order, and also recommended their other 1200 needle.

I did my 1200 upgrade about 3 years back..did the jets and forgot about the needle. Never Dyno'd the bike or did more than basic spark colour check....always did run a bit lean.

The the 1200 kit rear pot (V-Twin manufacturing crap) had a manufacturing defect, it leaked oil from the head at the return oil drilling, about three fins down,...

I am putting a CV carb on my 1974 Shovelhead. The engine is completely stock. What jet sizes do I use, or at least start with? Thanks for the help.

i know many of us cannot ride now because of weather. Still others for unknown reasons. Where is everyone and what's everyone up too? Or is everyone just sitting up staring blankly off into the distance? Lol

Anyone with winter projects?

Me? Well currently trying to trudge thru wife's retirement process. US Government employees suck. What useless over paid no consequence burdens to society.

Once her money starts coming in with any regularity I'm outty next. Wife's process is currently a debacle of govt f*ck ups and bs. Going on 6 months now.

Soooooooooooooo..I'm heading to work for midnights tonight. About 2-3 inches of hard pack snow on the road and no plow or salt truck in sight. I didn't expect it so I left a little later than I would have had I known it snowed. regardless, speed llimit is 45 mph, I'm going 28-30mph, mostly 28mph. As I'm heading out of my little village and climbing the hill, I see headlights 3/4 mile away behind me but gaining fast. Before I could even get to the top of the hill he was on my ass. I pull over courteously and let him by. A lilttle sub compact 4 door blows by me.

Not even 1/4 mile down the road he is in the ditch and nose of the car in the swamp, axle deep in the snow. I se the tracks of where it went wrong as I was pretty was the next car coming up behind him.

I pulled over even tough I...
