-Well - my recommendation is based on user reports - Back when sportster.org was operating, there was a lot of interest in mods and people found certain ways to 'Enhance Performance'. The definition was mostly subjective and like many things in life, we want our money to buy what we intended, so our perspective is somewhat altered once we buy something (or buy into something). We usually find a way to like or justify what we spent our money or time on.

 Over the years many of the previous recommendations (some settled wisdom) has proven that the mods 'enhance' some portion of the operation at the expense of other portions - So, you might get great throttle response when you wack it open at 3000 RPMs, but trying to cruise at 45 mph thru the countryside is now met with surging/sluggishness - or even wacking the throttle at 2500 RPMs is now a bog. The mods did 'enhance performance' for one portion of the operation.

 As already mentioned in the main CV40 carb tuning page, the Dynojet Kits (and many equivalent ones) can be an issue. Typically, they replace the factory needle, emulsion tube, main jet & diaphragm/slide spring. They also recommend that you drill the slide vacuum hole out for quicker throttle response. The Dynojet emulsion tube and main jets are not compatible with the Keihin emulsion tube/jets - they use different threads, which means you can only buy jets from them.
-You have a guessing game if you begin to mix parts together from different carb kits. Every change you make, creates a different relationship to the other parts - and mixing different kit parts often makes a relatively huge change in relationships. I'm not convinced that using a lighter spring or drilling the slide is right (as recommended by Dynojet). Even though the CVP Tuner's Kit has a 7/64" drill bit included, they have recommended not using it unless the OEM hole has burrs in it.

((http://xlforum.net/forums/showpost.php?p=5289784&postcount=12)) The Stock vacuum hole is .097". I don't recommend changing it at all. If there are burrs, smooth them out with a very small round file and don't alter the overall diameter.
+Stock Keihin needles & jets are often critical to a well operating carb. Note these comments by Joe Minton in reference to HD & aftermarket carb tuning kits: “The needle and needle jet in these kits are made of brass; the stock Keihin needle is polished hard-anodized aluminum, and the needle jet is hard brass. The brass-on-brass of the kit wears quickly and further richens an already too-rich mixture. The stock parts hardly wear at all. I have examined stock needles and jets with 45,000 to 70,000 miles of use and could not detect measurable wear.”
 Let me point out another thing about mixing parts - The Needle Jet & the Needle are a set - That is, they are sized to work together correctly - That's why changing needles (with only .001 difference in diameter) has an effect - The ID of the Needle Jet and the OD of the Needle provide the orifice for an air/fuel mix to come into the venturi. It is very sensitive to changes.
