New Carb-Should I or not?
Just did a overhaul on my stock carb on my 84 FXST. After a thorough de-gunking and blow job + a carb kit, it now runs good. One of my buds suggested going to a CV instead, said I will get much better performance. Anybody been through this? If I change, what should I consider? The motor is stock with the exception of shaved heads and drag pipes.

No doubt, a CV is better than the butterfly. You would need new intakemanifold, filter, and cover, because the ones of your 84 won't work. I bought a set from one of the guys here and it's working out real good.
Second to that and a little/lot more cost is an S&S Super E or Mikuni HSR42.

Thanks for the imput guys. The insight is most appreciated. Due to the lousy weather we are about to embark on for the next 5-6 months up here in Ontario it gives me time to find a good replacement and be ready for next season. Afraid the "BLACK QUEEN" will have to be mothballed @ the end of this month. Ride Safe

I got to agree with everyone about the cv,I did it and am very pleased with it.starts easier,responce is a lot better,and milage improved buy about 5 miles per.also u got time look for stock intake off 91 up evo for cv intake ,i got lucky an bought one for 5 bucks off indie back shelf. Nightrider.com has good info on modifing an tuning.the cv has got to be one of the easiest ones to tinker with an get right.
