so from what I find these both have the same engine bore & stroke? So in theory if they are running the same pipes and the air box removed should be able to run the same carb set up correct?
Thanks,
Todd

sounds right to me


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

As a base line, yes. Yet each bike's jetting may need to be tweaked. I've seen the same bikes with major differences in jetting.

Right,It just seems it make a fantastic starting point vs. the trial and error method.Should save me a little.

For a time the Speedy had a different needle than the America but these year models might have the same one; I think that was in the period when the Speedies had the 865 and the America was still 790. Easy enough to check while the carbs are off and in hand.
