CVP N65 Needle

A direct replacement for the factory discontinued Harley N65C needle. The classic N65C needle was originally fitted to the first CV carburetor on 1988 Harley-Davidson Sportsters that lacked an accelerator pump, therefore requiring a needle with a richer profile just off idle to overcome the lean stumble. For years tuners and techs have used the N65C needle to custom tune all model Harley CV carburetors to deliver the optimal amount of fuel just off idle, smooth acceleration, and eliminate hesitation.* Replaces H-D p/n 27094-88 N65C.

Backordered - ETA 4/17

CV Performance manufacturers the Harley N65C needle using the original factory profile spec while utilizing our own machining process not found anywhere else. CNC machined from aircraft quality billet aluminum for precision and durability. Will fit all Harley constant velocity (CV) carburetors on 1990-2006 Big Twin and 1988-2006 Sportster models.

Replacing the Needle Jet nozzle is always recommended when changing needles.

Tuning Shims available - Those using the N65 for custom tuning have often used shims to adjust the needle height and achieve a richer off-idle mixture. We stock a 5-pack of shims for those requiring their use. Each stainless steel shim is approx 0.019" thick (+/- .002). CVP does not make any specific recommendations, tuning with shims is a trial and error method that will vary for each application and typically should not exceed 2 shims.  Shims are NOT recommended for use with our Velocity Needle. 

*May require fine tuning using shims and trial and error tuning to dial in the correct mixture throughout the power band. CVP does not provide any specific tuning recommendations with this needle. For optimal tuning without the need to shim the needle, we recommend our Velocity Needle that has been designed for performance in newer models without any shims or trial and error tuning.
