thanx.....!!!! .......

thats exactly what i was wanting to know..... looks like i'll be having a S&S Super E before to long.

according to the web sites, the S&S will still work with my cruise control.[i like that!]

thanks again .. this is a great site !

Don't do the mistake of getting the S&S. I've had the E and G on some of my bikes and was never satisfied, but then i tried the Mikuni HSR42 and WOW! This carb is incredible apart from the difference you feel in power, it always runs well at different altitudes, different temperatures, in traffic or highway etc.... I have the HSR45 on my Electra now and can't be more happy.

S&S has been in the Harley game for a looooong time. I've run nothing but S&S parts on all 3 of my Shovelheads (Super B carb, stroker flywheels, cams, springs, crank pin and even the Dual Throat carb.........anybody remember them?) and even my little Sportster. Don't bet against some S&S "stuff" finding its way onto the Road King.

Go for it Weet, you'll love the starting and running improvements the S&S will provide

 

A well tuned CV will give you just about the same performance as the S&S or the Mikuni provided you are running a near stock engine. With just pipes, and a Stage I the CV will supply all the air you need, and will do it well. In fact you could probably go up to 95" before you would need more carb.

To tune a CV, replace the slow jet and main jet with one size larger, install a 1998 1200 Sportster needle, cut 2 coils off of the slide spring, slightly ream the vaccum port, and adjust the idle jet about 2 1/2 turns out from the bottom.

Total cost will be about 25.00. I have ran this set up as well as Yost Power Tube and the Dyno Jet, and this is as good as either of the higher dollar jet kits.

Unless you are going to do a lot of high performance engine work, save your money for something else.

You should ask a few mechanics also cause i'm sure they can give you some good advice, but whatever they say remember one thing....MIKUNI
