Had my doubt of buying an aftermarket carburetor for my Harley. Davidson turns out that it was an excellent purchase. Excellent price bike runs really good. Would definitely buy this again. Would definitely work with seller again.

I was contemplating 3 stars or 5 stars, but settled with 5. I have a 2006 Harley Sportster 1200 Custom. This carb fit perfectly, no issues with that, the bike runs great and I'd certainly recommend buying the carburetor. That being said, I did need to cannibalize a few parts from the old carb, mainly around the throttle cable area. The plate for idle screw had to be bent so the screw would touch it. Had to swap out the new spring for the old spring and a plunger (?) which would be parts 31 and 33. Now, the diagram shows part 25 which I didn't see on the new carb because part 31 wasn't inserted where it should've been, so could've fallen out some point. Instead of using the old spring and plunger, I could've just used a small washer if available, I settled with swapping in the old parts. She fired up beautifully! You could spend $400 on a new carb from Harley, or wherever. Or you could spend less than $50 bucks on Amazon, spend a little time tweaking things into place, and have a great running bike. I'll save the old carb for parts, likely rebuild it later on. BTW, I didn't need to adjust the air/fuel screw. They've got it cranked 2.5 turns out which had the bike running beautifully. You will need to adjust the idle screw once you get the new carb in place... especially if you need to bend things into alignment. Happy customer here.

Carburetor made my road king run better than it ever has after some work. The entire squirter assembly was full of fine aluminum shavings from machining. I could never get the squirter to work due to the passages having this in them, luckily the squirter assembly is all contained in the bowl so I used my old bowl on the new carb. After some jet changes and fiddling my bike runs excellent well worth the price, just keep in mind you likely won’t be able to throw it on out of the box and go.

What a great product! I was skeptical but I trusted the positive reviews and I’m glad I did! Just installed this on my 2001 dyna fxd after swapping 42/170 jets for 48/190 which came supplied I checked the float level and it was within spec. Installed it and on dirty old plugs and minor idle adjusting the bike fires right up and rips with more power than it has ever had before. I was pleasantly surprised to find how well build and assembled the carb is and all the extra filters, hoses and plugs were really nice addition. I highly recommend this carb!!!

Arrived quickly, easy installation , and worked right out of the box.

This carb fits perfectly and is plug and play I have had these for a few years on 4 of my bikes I have had only one issue that the accerator gasket went bad on my bike that sat for two years maybe it’s a low grade gasket or just bad gas othe than that it work just as great as the original.

Fit my 99 sportster had to replace jets with my original ones but that come with any carb swap. Bike has ran great for a year since

This is a great carburetor. Definitely can't go wrong for the money! Only issue was the main jet was cranked down and could not be removed from the main jet piece. Have spare rebuild kit on hand and an air fuel screw and this carburetor is a monster!
