Are there any differences between the SE 42mm and the regular Mikuni HSR 42mm? A buddy of mine was telling me that there was a difference, but he didn't know what. I'm just wondering because I could save some cash by just buying the one from Mikuni. I believe the SE is made by Mikuni though.

 

The S/E Mikuni has chrome on it and does NOT include the detailed tuning guide that Mikuni provides.

Get the Mikuni from directparts.com for <$240.

 

There is slight difference in the mounting hw prodived , my wrench at the stealr actually prefers the Mik easy kit.
It is however the same carb

 

I have the 42 Mikuni on my Road King and love it, easily tuneable and never a problem

 

Thats good to know. I guess the SE is just an extra $100 bucks because its got SE written all over it.
