    I'm looking to do a big bore kit for a twin cam Duece. I kind of want to stay with HD parts due to my 7 year warranty. I was looking at the HTCC heads,screaming eagle 211 cams and 10.5:1 compression. My dealer said I should go with the Mikuni 42mm carb and I wanted to get some thoughts on this as well as the overall combo. I have the Ness big sucker with the stock carb now, will the mikuni easy kit work with this or do I need to purchase another Big sucker? I'm looking for a fun, dependable ride with about 100hp/100lbft. Thanks for any input.

    CV 44 and big bore intake would be my choice, nothing wrong with the mik it will give a good performance feel.

    You might want to hold off until you run the bike with the cv40 and stock intake, see how it performs, to get to 100/100 you'll probably need a larger carb.

    Thanks for the input, looking at the numbers your bike put down I'm guessing you might know a little about this stuff! Thanks.

    well I've spent a lot to learn what others already know, you will get a lot of good advice.

    First option is always to change the carb. With a strong 88 or mild 95 the cv40 is a good option but when you get into the 100+ range you need to consider bigger flow. The HSR is a great carb the one I had hit hard and really pulled, HSR45 the 42 is still probably a better carb on a 95,

    I have a cv51 on the 116 and like it, better than the super g which is a great carb but old school tech.

    Bobby woods does mods to cv carbs he could make your 40 work great on a 95 IMHO.
