Need advise on carb swap

[lengbyroadking]

I will be swapping carbs this winter from the original to a CV on my 87 FLT. I know I will need new cables and make an enriching cable bracket. Is there anything else I should be aware of? Does anyone have the cable part #s I need?

You will also need an intake manifold and flanges. The cables you require will depend on the length required. Use one of the cables you have now to determine the new needed length and then cross reference that length to a part number for a CV cable. Most aftermarket catalogs list cable lengths in there charts. You can usually get an OEM part number from these charts as well, if you are wanting H-D cables that is.

WHY NOT GET THE MIKUNI 42 HSR FULL KIT.. COMES WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED EXCEPT CABLES..(sorry about the caps)
you can find them in the $420.00 range..(manifold,carb,aircleaner with chrome cover)way better carb than a CV and easy to tune.. ..just my .02 cents

Like gottaride said: $249-1 left from Zippers at that (1/2 of normal) price.

I have 88 FLHS and as soon as the bike got home switched to a CV which i pulled off my shovel it had cables from a 94 ultra which were long enough with my apes and perfect for the FLHS. I also used the carb adapter which made it stick out 3/4" longer than stock. A little more torque never hurt.
