Mikuni Carbs

Fall is coming and considering upgrades. One is the carb and wondering what other people's experience with the Mukuni has been? It would be going on a 88". I'm looking for quicker passing response loaded up. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I've been thinking about this for a long time. So no question about there being a difference? Thanks

Better throttle response, 10-15 MPG decrease.

THANKS! My Minkuni gets 35 mpg, stock cv on another bike gets 50 mpg. Friend has a '03 FLHT with big bore, cams, etc and get only 25 mpg. So I assumed performance = less mpg. I'll have her dyno it.
