Default What type of Carb on 04' 1200R?

This may be a dumb question, but what type of carb does my 04' XL1200R have? I'm looking at purchasing a forcewinder off of ebay and the listing says that it will fit "CV" carbs without modification or the "S&S" carbs with adapter rings. Just wondering what my bike has and if this will work.

I think stock was a 40mm cv Keihin carb. When I bought my bike it had the forcewinder installed on the cv carb. I switched to a 42mm mikuni carb and needed the adapter.

BTW, anybody have any good advice on upgraded air intakes? I've been doing some research but am still pretty new to the mods that are offered. It's a tossup between the Forcewinder and SE Heavy Breather.
