Hi all ,

I am thınkıng to change the stok carb. of Eleonora (xl 883 c 2005 ) .

I checked around on ınternet and saw the SE bıg bore 44 mm. CV carb.

Do u have any suggestıons or ı should go and buy the SE ?




Ill post sm pıcs of Eleonora but my gırlfrıend took my camera so ull have to waıt a bıt.

 

I trıed to fınd a mikunı carb also , but had no succes . anybody knoes a mıkunı carb that wıll fıt a xl 883 c 2005 ?

 

First of all a SE 44mm big bore carb is probably Way to Much carb for a 883 or even a 1200 for that matter. The only way that will work right is if the motor has some serious mods to it. I would recommend a Mikuni 42 for a 883 or 1200. I have one on my 05 1200R and it seems to run pretty good. Ive heard that even the Mikuni 42 is to big for a 883/1200. My 2 cents....

Hello Francos

I have a XL 883 R 2003. I Have now 1200ccm with Buell Thunderstorm and Screamin'Eagle Parts. I changed the original carb with a Mikuni 42, but I need a few Time to find out, with needle is the best for the fuel.. The otherway the airfilter was all the time full of gas...

I tried also the Mikuni 44, but my dealer was not very happy about this part...

If you speaks or understands german, i can send you the list about my changing parts...My English is not very well for technical words

hı ralph ,

sorry but ı dont know german man .

ı made some further resarches but couldnt fınd a mıkunı carb 42 that wıll fıt the xl883 c 2005 .

as ı lıve ın turkey we dont have much places that sell thıs kınd of thıngs .

ı wıll try to ask a frıend ın ıstanbul , maybe ıll fınd smthıng there.

 

Do you even know if a 44mm carb will fit on your stock intake?

 

yes , but to do that ı need to change the ıntake manıfold as well .

on hmhd.com u cn see the carb and manıfold , say ıt wıll fıt

but ı thınk ı wıll change my mınd on that and leave ıt as ıt ıs .

maybe later .

 

The one you should be looking for is the Mikuni HSR42, but as ScreaminEagle883 stated I dont know whether it will fit the 05 model.
The dyno chart shows a comparason between stock CV and the Mikuni on a mildly tuned 883. An increase of under 2 bhp!!!
