I think I have it covered, but was wondering what the part number is on the springs. I don't want to order the wrong thing. Also are there any links to the procedure or is it just straight forward. TIA  8)  I am refering of course to giving my 99 standard more pep  ;D

Just take off the chrome carberater caps and pull the old springs out and drop in the new ones!
Doesn't actually give it more "Pep" just better throttle response but does make a difference!
have to seach "HDL" honda direct line to get PArt # , type in Valkyrie interstate carb springs!
I went from the "IS" springs to the ones that come with the "Dyno Jet stage 1" kit even more of a difference , they  are about a inch longer with the same winding in the coil!

There are three screws, take two of them out, then put your finger on the chrome cover as your remove the third one.  The chrome cover and a plastic one will come off as one unit.  Replace the spring and put it all back together, put all three screws in and tighten them consecutively until they are all tight.
