when considering performance and price, what are the advantages to rejetting the stock or buying an aftermarket carburetor?

The stock cv carb is pretty good especially if you ride where altitude changes.

What are your other mods? If you're making big power you might want a mikuni.

You can save your money on a jet kit and just buy a 45 pilot and 180 or 190 main. Then search on here for jetting and adjust the air/fuel screw to 2.5 out to start with.

thanks a lot, just bought the bike with only 3300 miles and the only mod made was a vance n hines pipe. I plan putting on the race air cleaner from american sport bike before any carb work but was just checking out my options

Stick with the stocker and save the money for gas and tires. You can probably just get single jets from your HD dealer or maybe Al at A S B.

if its got a pipe on it and you plan on putting the race air cleaner on it, definitely rejet it.
