Default MM to Carb conversion: Keeping cruise control?

I'm currently making up the parts list to do the carb swap on my 00 Ultra.

I'd like to retain the factory cruise control, but from my research, only S&S offers a bracket for the CC. It appears Rivera used to make one for Mikuni, but it has been discontinued. I have no problem going with S&S, but Mikuni was my second choice.

Am I somehow missing a supplier for the Mikuni CC bracket?

Thanks gents!!

I'm guessing your bike is basically stock ?
Why not look at using a stock CV Carb ? I believe you can get a CC kit for that ?
The CV works well, and good for 100hp .
I would avoid using an S&S, but that's just personal preference .

I'll look into the CV kit, but I've also never had an issue with an S&S after installing several.

Interestingly, after all my searches into MM to carb, EFI to carb, etc.....I never ran across that thread. *sigh*

I "redneck engineered" a cruise bracket onto both a 44MM CV and a 51MM CV using Gorilla Epoxy. Neither model CV have a shaft for the bracket, so I just epoxied the bracket over the end of the shaft. Been running it on my 1994 96" Evo Ultra Classic f or nearly 10 years now.

OP as far as carbs go I'll say I have a bike with an S&S carb and one with a stock CV carb. They are both drop dead reliable, but in my opinion the CV carb runs a little better and has a little more adjustability (three fuel "adjustments" instead of just two). For me on a twin cam I'd take a stock Keihin rejetted with a raised needle over an S&S any day.
