S&S or Mikuni?
 

For a stock 80", which would be my best choice for a little performance ugrade and more reliability than the stock carb? Each shop seems to have their own opinion. Thanks.

Updating a CV is the best and most reliable.....

Mik's are really nice for stump pullers, and a slightly warm motor... Not sensible to detune it for a stock motor.......

S&S' are too pricey for what they give you IMHO.....

CV's are my first choice for tuning, reliability, longevity and tuneability for an otherwise stock motor.....

I prefer S&S on everything..Pans ,Shovels and Evo,s ..and have done so with excellant results. Depnding on how you pay attention to setting them up, your satisfaction will vary.;)

Got to agree with Bob here,the CV is plenty of carb for a stock 80" motor.
Don't wast your money on a new carb, just have the CV tuned.
I had an FXR bored .010 over with SE 10.0:1 pistons,EV27 cam,Baisley Heads,SE module & cycleshack staggered duals.
All I did for a carb was have a dynajet kit and a thunderslide put in a stock CV carb and it ran like a scalded dog.
A budget build that spanked many a bike with a lot more $$$$ spent.:D
