Even though I like my CV, I have to agree with much of what THC is saying. My pop's 95 Wide Glide w/Super E starts much easier (same compression). Also, my CV's choke is broken and I have occasional intake leaks. It seems logical to me that the Super E would have better throttle response since it doesn't have to move that slide and butterfly like the CV does.
I am keeping my CV though in case I want to go back. Here in Cali I hold on to whatever I can get my hands on.
For my shopping list I guess I need a rebuild kit, an intake manifold, a intake spacer, a K&N filter, throttle cable guide for stock cables (or new throttle cables?). Is there anything obvious that I am missing?

Thanks guys.
What year model bike did the carb come from?
If it is a '92 or newer you don't need a new cable guide.
I used my stock cables on mine before I had to get longer cables because I added apes to my bikes.
You may have to reroute the cables but stock ones will work fine.
