Default Carb jets. What size?

Hey fellas. I am curious as to what size jets most of you have. I'm running 180 and 45 I think. Air screw 3 and a half. If anyone is running bigger, what kind of mods have you done to require the bigger jets?

You are already a little large on the main the idle jet is good and you have your idle screw almost a full turn farther out than it needs to be.
If you are looking for more performance you can use a 175 main jet and a 27094-88 Harley needle in place of the stock needle which should get you better performance and better gas milage unless you are as hard on the throttle as me.

48 / home made 192+, 1.75 turns on the A/F, clipped spring, drilled slide, Custom needle, self ported intake manifold, few other Carb mods I'll keep to myself. Mods in Sig. Perfect lookin plugs, No pops, no backfires, no hesitation, no chit.

Once I get the 2 into 1 pipes I have my eye on, I'll have it dyno'd into the century mark.
