If you can tune the Mikuni it's a great carb, just a bit more difficult to set up than a S+S or CV.

We've mentioned three different carbs so far and each of them can give good results, also has countless happy owners! Gonna have to make your own mind up IMHO. I personally have been v happy with both c/v and S&S.

Is the CV giving you trouble ? Do you have CC ? Will CC work with the S&S or Mikuni ? I like my CV just fine, it gets both great performance and fuel economy (mid 40's) with a built engine.
