    Any assistance would b muchly appreciated! I'm looking to rejet my stock carb on 2003 roadking with 88 in.eng and HD stage 1 intake. its only got 26 k miles now and I changed to 2/1 patriot exhaust with header pipe about 8k miles ago. I delayed rejetting but now tailpipe is turning a copper tone (LOL), has alot of black carbon buildup inside it, and gets poor gas mpg! is it a cv carb? which of their rebuild kits would work best? thanx guys! a dude said gas could mix into the oil but I don't smell gas in oil after a ride.

    THANX FOR REPLY! No gas smell by the bike parked after a ride but as mentioned burning a lot of fuel and the back half of 2/1 pipe is turning a copper tone ( LOL) tint and a lot of black carbon buildup inside tail pipe. these set of pipes have about 8k miles on em! oh, and the carb is orig. untouched with HD stage 1 intake on the 2003 88 inch eng. bike only has 26 k miles on it too.

    The CVs are excellent carbs on a 88 twincam if set up right. My belief every bit as good as S&S and hellva lot cheaper
