Yep jets are easy, many Jap bikes use the same carbs as our bikes and so did HD. HD jets tend to be too big since they run 1 carb as opposed to our twin carb set up. Most seem to have best luck with Honda. Mikuni also used some jets that work, the head is slightly smaller but the jet opening is the same and so are the threads. I put those in Wendys bike. You can get the K&N pods through a local shop I would imagine the part numbers are RC-2890 and RC-2900. Not sure what to tell you about any kits to keep the stock look with the pods that are local to you.

Mike, Unfortunately there isn't a Canadian aftermarket distributor for any of the stuff right now. One option you have is to check the tech vault forum on our site we've been able to compile a nice list of alternative makes parts that are able to be used with out models.

I've done everything from drop shipping to a nearby us ups store to direct shipping here. I also am lucky to have an excellent dealer here who seems to stock or know about virtually anything i want. most expensive option bul also most flexible.

Your dealer is a good contact but the cost is usually increased. A recent purchase from British-Customs.com was apparently shipped in Canada, although it is a US website. They charge in US funds. They have a sale that ends tomorrow......10% off any purchase over $100.
Our classified section is a great place to look as well. I picked up a set up Bubs off Cowtipper (shipped from Texas) at a great price, great shape, and Canadian Customs only charged $30.
