I like my Edelbrock Qwiksilver II but they're hard to find so in it's place I'd use a CV with sportster needle, 45 idle jet and 185 main on your EVO. Throttle response will be just fine, although you may lose a nanosecond or two to a Mikuni or Edelbrock flatslide. I'm no expert but one of my riding buddies is and in his opinion the expense of the Mikuni is hard to justify until you're putting out 90 HP or more. You can get there just fine with the CV.
I just finished tuning my '97 Sportster Sport with that exact combination on the otherwise stock CV. It's running an open Supertrapp header with no muffler just a straight pipe and runs like stink. Love that little bike... ;-)

What size is your rear wheel? Looks good with that fender.

Running the Mik 42 here on my superglide EVO with SE ignition, SE AC & muffs stock header along with EVL 2015 cam. 80Tq & 70Hp.
Very pleased with throttle response & milage. My 42 is setup with 17.5 pilot, 50 pumpjet & 165 main with 98 needle middle setting.
The CV carb will work, might have shim the needle a touch
