That's pretty good, even better if they come with the shim [washer]. HDL has 'em listed @ $21.92 ea. w/washer. You'd be saving almost $17.00 for the set.

jets are cheaper from sudco.com or factorypro.com
the bowl float needles rarely go bad unless the bike was sitting for 10 yrs, even then they're most likely ok.
what is wrong that u need to replace all of the jets?

Tell her you at least saving $65 a shop hour by doing it yourself. At least you know what parts have been installed. |

You might want to try Rocky Mountain ATV ( www.rockymountainatv.com ) for the jets, looks like it will be $61.xx including shipping and (no) tax from them. Or if you use the ProX brand primary jets then it will be right at $51.xx including shipping. Also you can try out www.hollisterhonda.com they claim about 30% less than any other Honda parts source. Others have used them and been pleased with thier prices. Sorry I get nothing from sharing thier name, but I do know the General manager Fred G. and the online parts guy Kevin V. I have been trying to get them to offer to be a supporter of this forum (no luck yet) since they told me they have done a LOT of business for Valkyrie and Goldwing parts from all over the country and even Europe after I started my Multi point upgrade project. |

Turn slow and high speed jet cleaning into a joy.
1) Fill the tank with fresh gas, 87 OCT will do, no additives.
2) Ride your Valkyrie at about 30-35MPH for approx. 150 miles away from home.
3) Turn around, ride it 65-70 MPH or whatever pleases you, back home. You will probably need more
gas to return home. Be sure to refill it before you put it up.
By the time you get back home, it will be running just fine. Take it out for a spin at least once weekly, doesn't have to be 300 miles every trip, but keep those tanks of gas flowing thru it. You'll save tearing into those carberators and enjoying you bike instead of working on it.

Factory Pro Kit...where did you get the kit from? I am hoping all I need right now are needles and jets,,,I have ordered just a oring kit already and float boal kit, also air intake side seal/gaskets minus the diaphrams which still seem plenty pliable and look to be in decent condition.
thx
Dan
