Why not Ebay?

JET KIT Honda CBR1000F Hurricane 87 88 90 91 93 96 | eBay

or a Dynojet Stage 1 kit from Orient Express?

Dynojet Jet Kit - Honda- CBR 1000F Hurricane 1987 1991 Stage 1

It's a Global Village and postage shouldn't be too expensive.

Cheers, SB

I would just watch what size they suggest, had found a site that I can't remember the name of that has a "jet calculator" and it suggested that I go with 42 pilots and 130 mains.

If you've done any mods performance wise (K&N air filter, pod air filters, aftermarket exhaust, ect.) a 42 pilot jet should be perfect, works really well with mine and I have pod air filters and a full vance and hines exhaust, but I wouldn't go with a 130 main jet.

Instead I got 127.5 mains and I couldn't be happier with the results, but it all depends on what mods, if any, have been done

It doesn't seem to matter what option I select on the jet calculator, it always comes back with the same result. 130 mains and 38 pilots.

If you have any mods I'd say a 42 pilot would do, as for mains if you've got a full aftermarket exhaust and pod air filters or a k&n I'd say try about a 125-126.

Unless you run up on someone that has the same mods as you and has found the sweet spot it's just guess work, I went with 127.5 mains and it seems to hit right where I want.

The other guess work is shimming the needle or moving the clip down one slot, moving it down one slot with no shims seems to be right where I need it but each bike has it's own characteristics which could call for something just a little different

Mine has a K&N, aftermarket end cans and a big bore kit with high compression.
Was just odd to see the calculator not seem to care what options were selected it just spews out the same answer.

I have K&N, 4into1 Remus pipe and wiseco high comp big bore kit(2mm o/size) and use 140 mains and it is still a little lean but 140 was the biggest jets in the kit I got.
I don't know what the pilots are.
