Default Super E or Super G that is the question...
Hey folks, I'm looking at putting an S&S setup on my '01 FXDP but I'm not sure which carb I should get or what the real difference is since I've never bought one before. From what I've read the Super E is an 1 7/8" and a Super G is 2 1/16" but I'm not sure if that's talkin about intake size or what. I don't have anything else done except a mild cam so it's not much more than a stock 88", I've just always loved the S&S look. Thanks

You can just get the s&s air filter for the cv carb that you have on there now. Why wast the money on a carb you don't need?

With your mild engine i think you would be better off having a good wrench tune your CV or buy a mikuni ez. I have s&s carbs before, IMO they kinda suck in the everyday ridability department. They will however throw some gas if your into WFO alot.

I wasn't aware that you could mount an S&S air cleaner to a stock carb. I always thought you had to have one of their carbs. Basically I'm only wanting the breather anyway so I guess I need to look into that option.

I believe S&S air cleaner kit part number 17-0450 is the one that will fit your bike:

If you did want to swap carbs, Super E between those two for the 88. Even with stage 1 and cams, the E is more than enough. I'm gonna do a Mikuni 42mm myself this winter when I bore to 97ci

I'm running this one. A copy of the S&S for a ton less money. Fits perfect on the stock carb.

Agreed with the CV carb posts.
If you are going to change for performance,
go Mikuni!!!
Don't waste your time and money with an S&S.

I am going with a Mikuni but I won't badmouth S&S, I have nothing against them, they are a tried and true completely mechanical carb.

For your motor, go with the S&S E.
