I'm going to attempt the installation of the Mikuni HSR42 on my Fatboy this weekend. Anybody done one of these that can offer up any tips or problems with the install? Thanks for the help.

 

Download the info at Mikuni America. Also, you'll probably have to grind some of the tip off a couple of fins to get it to fit on the TC. Use some dish washing liquid on the intake side for lubrication. Good carb, I have one on my WG.

 

Yo Gray Rider...

Thanks for the heads up. I got the install done and didn't need to grind down the fins. Mikuni did have one of the steps 'bass-akwards', as they wanted me to install the choke cable onto the carb AFTER I was to mount the carb into the intake. Not a chance of that working. The 'ol Fatboy fired off and now I just need to tweak the cable adjustments a little .

Took 'er for a spin, and man what an improvement over the stock POS! No more coughing, sputter or puking. Smooth and Sweet!


Thanks again!
Dave
