Jetting for Fatty's

[fishwater]

I just picked up a used pair of Fatty's, I have searched & searched but the recommendations are all over the place. So I know I will need to jet & do plug chops but I am wondering what range of jets I should buy to start with. My bike is completely stock, I will remove the snorkel but plan on keeping the lid, too much mud in New England! I am also keeping Tors until it gives me problems. I plan on riding in temps from 10 degrees to 100. Basically I need a starting point for summer & winter at sea level. So I am looking for a good range of jets to buy for winter & summer, lets break it down to winter range of jets & summer range if possible. Thanks.

If you are leaving the lid on somewhere around 260 is a good starting point.

I can't say much for winter, But with me in Florida I run a 280 main with the lid on and rad valves with your same pipe no other mods. 260 to 280 in summer. I used a fatter pilot a 27.5 and it helps with getting on the needles smoother it was not very responsive with the stock pilots.

you can get a jet kit from vitos.

270 to 300 would be safe. and you might have to adjust the needle a clip position as the weather changes but you never know.

OK, so where should I get jets? I don't really want a kit b/c it looks like two sets of jets, I think I will need & feel better if I had the 270-300's.
