Default super g or not

Hi
can anyone help??? can I use an S&S super G carb (shorty) on my 2000, 1200 sporty. it came off a 113" S&S engine.
If it can be used will I have a lot of jetting issues? I hope someone can help.Cheers Steve

NO! TOO DAMN BIG! Super G is for 100 cid MINIMUM engine size. Yes you can run it with the right jetting BUT it will be a dog. S&S Super E will be perfect.

Thanks so much. Are the S&S carbs a good direction to go for upgrades?

Yes, although an E is probably more suitable. They are popular with Evo big twin owners. Mikuni is also popular.

I have an S&S 107" in my Glide, which came with a G, although their later 111" comes with an E, which seems counter-intuitive. I have had experience in the past with both a carb that was too small, and a carb that was too big, neither of which could be tuned to run well.
