Default different carbs

How many different carbs came on the 98 road king stock. I say just 1 the CV but a buddy says no there were 2 or 3 different ones

The actual carb body was the same. Jetting and needles typically varied depending on where they were delivered. Just look in an old parts book and you will see. Back then I'm thinking the greatest differences were international vs domestic.
