If you are not doing any internal mods the stock CV with a few inexpensive mods is more than enough carb. It will give you better low end and mileage than the S&S too.

Thats what I hear. The stock carb is more carb than people think. If your just going to add pipes and maybe a cam the stocker is perfect. All my buddies that added head and pistons all run Mikuni's.

It's my understanding that the CV is a better than average carb.
Adding a tuners kit puts it where it needs to be. I run one, and it's
provided quite good performance with just a DynoJet kit.
Once you get up to around 100 cubic inches, it just can't move enough
air, so an upgrade would be in the cards.
Nothing wrong with the old CV......

My CV runs great! I put a kit in it with bigger idle and main jet, and better needle, and drilled out the vacuum hole in the slide to 1/8". I run a Hypercharger Pro (K&N filter) and V&H Dresser Dual headers with either V&H Big Ovals for long trips or straight-through fishtails. I thought about putting on an S&S E, but I have also read about the CVs ability to auto-adjust for altitude, which comes in handy on mountain trips. From what I've read, slide carbs like the S&S can't auto-adjust for altitude.
