Default 04 fatboy?

I'm about to upgrade my 04 carbureted engine to a S&S 100
i wanna upgrade my carburetor . any suggestions. ?
i know i can just replace the jets on the stock one .
but since i spend that much for set up might as well go all out . thanks

If you haven't bought your kit yet you can read the instructions it comes with on the S&S website. They recommend using an E or G carb, not surprisingly. An alternative is a Mikuni.

You drop that 100" in, on that 2004 crank, you'll want to keep a close eye on it.

Check it at the point of installation, then check it say 2500 miles after.
Those 2004 cranks are known to slip.
