would putting a mikuni 42 wake up a 2002 EGC with SE pipes?

 

If you decide you want one I have a brand new polished one in the classifieds for sale. They are the best carbs IMO.

 

Here's a link to it if you are interested. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/motor...brand-new.html

 

Mikuni's are great carbs, but if all you have done to the bike is pipes it's probably overkill, you should be able to rejet the stock CV & wake it up a bit. The Mikuni is great if you're going to do cams & ported heads & such, but it will work great with just pipes if you find somebody to tune it right. It doesn't make any difference if it's carb or EFI it still needs someone who knows how to tune it, more guys used to know how to tune carbs, but not sure that's the case anymore, some HD techs hardly know what a carb is these days.LOL

 

It will make throttle resonse better but its not going to make more HP.

I agree with james, they are THE BEST carb out there!

Youre gonna get tons of answers about cams but I think the majority attest to the mikuni for the best carb. Cam selection depends are your riding style and what rpm range you want to feel the power. The search function should get you about all the cam reading a man could ask for.

 

my brother has a 06 rk carb model, he put air cleaner stage 1 kit, mikuni & rineharts and it ran alot better, but it was more of a better response than better power
