Sometimes the most economical thing to do is spend some money on the right thing first.

You got me curious - Killer Motorcycle Products was the place I was thinking of that cleans, mods and rebuilds the CV's. Here are some forum member reviews, they are on ebay and auction their services.

That's what they say for buying a bench vise. After having broke two of the Chinese knockoffs, I'm about to experience it first hand.

Don't get me wrong about S&S and the CV as well as the Mik... In the right hands a carb can be manipulated to do pretty much what you want... I've never matched carbs on the same motor but I do know how responsive and easy to tune the S&S is. Because of the tapered design of the Venturi (as in Holley carbs) For their diameter, the air speed is accelerated which helps in better atomization of the fuel.. Now I do have a loaner 89" stroker motor in my 98 that has a 42 Mik without an accelerator pump on it (it's been worked) and I must say it does perform very well. Because I have so much time on my hands lately I am going to try the S&S on it to see which one is actually a better performer. By that I'm talking all around... It'll be a week or 2 but like I said, I have plenty of time as of late.....
