I did a bunch of research on the Mikuni HSR 42 and nobody has any issues with the fitment or bracket spacing. However it seems that the info on the web is that the Mikuni Carb does NOT like the James gaskets intake doughnut gasket and a stock gasket should be used for the Mikuni carb to intake flange.
Maybe that will help you??

The world ends on December 21st, so you might want to get everything done by then so we can see what it looks like

I got a stock Harley gasket for between the intake and the carb. There will be a gasket with my new a/c whenever it arrives. Once everything arrives I will put on the stock harley gasket and pray that all works. That is all the news that I have right now. I am hoping for the a/c before I leave on Friday but am not counting on it as of now as until it is in my hands anything could happen.
I love it when bagger guys look at my bike and think that it is trying to be a bagger. No such thing. Tour Dyna. Handles like a dream, tons of power and will leave any bagger in the dust in the twisties. LOL.
Fork springs happen when they happen. One more day of work and I am out of here for a few. It will be a pleasure.
