MM to Carb Conversion

MM to Carb Conversion
I have had troubles for the last few years with my MM fuel injection and I have finally decided to go for a carb. I plan on going with the HSR42 and DTT ignition. My question is for the manifold. 27613-99 is what is on all parts lists I have found, but will the 27614-99 work? I cannot find if this was an updated part number or what. Also is it worth it to run the Mikuni manifold?
Bike is a 00 EG with 98" BB, head work and S&S 570 cams. Bike made 98/105 I believe.
Thanks.

If you are buying a Mikuni carb, it seems natural to buy the matching manifold! Check the Mikuni website for installation instructions, which should help:

I wish I could say the same. Now moving to carb it was supposed to be a seamless swap. Unfortunately it has been nothing but issues still. The mikuni manifold does not fit at all. I called Mikuni and they could not help. It should work for twin cams up to 08. I guess I will find a stock manifold to test fit.

If you get frustrated trying to make the Mikuni fit, you could sell it, and go with a Keihin CV40.... just a suggestion mind you... I know a lot of people love the Mikuni, and it's a great carb with infinite adjustability, but I believe the CV40 was underrated.... and I've read they will perform well up to 110ish-115ishHP
Since the CV40 was OEM, it would be easy to find all the parts to mount one, and there is still a lot of support (rebuild parts/tuning info) to support its use on a Harley ....
I have one on an '01 and it runs flawlessly...... I recently bought the bike, and after years of EFI bikes and two in the garage, it was a trip down memory lane rebuilding the carb... but it all came back to me and it was easy to rebuild, easy to dial in, and runs great..!!
Again, just a last resort suggestion....
Good luck with the conversion....
