Need help on re-jetting a 40cv carb

[Hedghog]

I recently purchased a 2000 DWG with the twin cam 88 motor. The bike was totally stock. In the last couple of week I have installed V&H Big Shots and a AN Stage 1 Big Sucker air intake. Allthought the bike runs OK, it sounds like the carb needs to be re-set or re-adjusted. I was told it probably needs to be re-jetted. Does this sound right? If so, how do you know how big to go with new jets and is this real hard to do if I haven't done it before?

Thanks for your help,
Hedghog

YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE A/F and EXHAUST and not work the CARB........
.go to dealer and get a 46 pilot jet......
find the pilot jet in the carb.....it is not easy....
you will nead help.....
it is hidden in a hole in the bottom of the carb.....
the bowl must be removed first...
I get $75.00 to do this...
