I'm an S&S Shorty fan myself. Although I have put a Cv carb on an Ironhead and a few shovels and they worked perfect. A hell of a lot cheaper too.
P.S. Mikuni sucks
My Golf Swing is so bad, I look like a caveman killing his lunch.

Bucket list are for Sissie, men do it while they can enjoy it
I agree the CV is the best carb that ever came on a Harley with a few simple mods it can be a great carb
