    Hi
    After reading thru all your posts on how satisfied you all are with this Stage 1 set up on your carbs I am thinking with going ahead with the modification but I am worried since I see that there seams to be different kits for USA Harley bikes to European or export Harleys.Any help appreciated.

    The euro carburetor on your bike is actually the same as the ones sold here in the US. The only difference is jetting and the needle size supplied to each country based on emission laws and standards.

    So then I can get this harley Performance kit set up for my bike if so would be very interested since I would be purchasing 2 .

    1) for a 2001 FXSTS WITH VANCE HAND HINES LONGSHOTS AND HYPERCHARGER AIRBOX

    2) FOR A 2001 DEUCE FXSTD WITH SCREAIMING EAGLES SLIP ONS AND K & N AIR FILTER.
    What would I have to quote on the order since it just gives the option of TC88 but dfoes no give option of stating carb type.
    Thanks again for any help.

    All twin cam model carburetors are the same regardless of country, only the internal jetting (stock) varies based on regional requirements. Jetting/tuning is universal.

    Slow speed adjustment seal

    Just as a matter of interest when dismantling both carbs form a 2001 FXSTS and a 2001 FXSTD to fit the rejetting kits purchased from Harley Performance we found that both seals are off and on close inspection seamed never to have had anything fitted there .Both these bikes have never been touched by other than ourselves from new,so obviously bikes sent for export to europe must leave the factory with unplugged slow speed adjustment.

    Interesting, it may be that not all countries require the mixture screw to be plugged. I suppose it all depends on each locations individual emission regulations.
