Title: Grampsizing parts
Post by: pietperson on June 23, 2016, 20:51:55 PM
Where do you get the jets for grampsizing? The article mentions OEM and Dynojet but I can't find the size jet and needle called for listed anywhere. Is the dealer the source for parts or where? also where to get progressive front springs and sprokets?

I used a AFAM front sprocket bought through the local dealer 18T then for the rear I went with a JT sprocket 38T both in steel

I bought my jets from jetsrus.com and the dynojet kit for 800 Drifter off of eBay.

If I order the dynojet kit for the 800 Vulcan will I get the correct needle? They don't list what needle is in the kit, just says it is for the stock engine.

whatever needle comes in the kit is the one that the grampsizing instructions call for. I used that, the jets they called for, the K&N filter, the modified airbox, removed the CA nonsense, and have a reduced backpressure exhaust and it all works together to make a much easier to ride and more enjoyable bike.

I got my jets from JP Cycles.  I could not find a "kit" with the right sizes.  The standard kits just bump you up a couple sizes, but the Grampsize mod is more significant than that. I used the stock needle.
