    chuck are you going to have to down size the jets any ? or is the CV carb jetted for the 74in pan ? I'am not sure when the CV came into play but it was at least for A 80 in engine just a thought to ponder :D

    CV's have been used on various size motors with great success, for example the 883 & 1200 Sportsters, 1340 EVO's, 1450 Twin Cam's and even on Kawasaki's for which they were original made.

    ChuckTx,
    I'm putting a CV on my Shovel and was advised to jet it for the sporty as well - what is the stock jetting for a 1200 Sportster?? I put in a 45 slow jet and a 175 main. It had a 40 and a 165 when I got it. Yes, I did change the float and all the o-rings. Can't wait to get it on and get the Super B off.

    Looks good as I expected really. You do some killer work Chuck.

    What kind of top you going to put on that CV? A new chrome will stick out I think, and a black plastic will a bit too. Do you plan to camo it into the grand scheme or just let it be what it is?

    i will take either.....both would be good, and i will rebuild so they dont have to be perfect. i have one rotor, but could get another for dual set up. right now i am looking at one brake setup....
