I am looking at putting a kuryakyn air scoop on my harley because I absolutely love the look of butterfly valves, and the one I found on eBay says the following regarding fitment:
The Pro-Series Hypercharger fits Stock or 44mm C.V. style carbs, %26amp; can be easily adapted to Mikuni HSR42/45/48 %26amp; S%26amp;S Shortys with adapters, sold separately.
So I just want to make sure this will fit my bike. I will admit I am ashamed I do not know what my carb is... I know the ins and outs of chevy small-blocks, but wouldn't know where to start on a motorcycle carb.|||If you like the looks of the Hypercharger then by all means, get one. They are only marginal as an aircleaner though. There are many better ones on the market. One of the best flowing is the Screamin' Eagle one.
The 40mm CV is one of the nicest and easiest carbs on the planet to work on. You would be crazy to swap it out for an S%26amp;S unless you were pumping out way over 100HP. The carb isn't the limitation, it's the heads. If you want a TON of power, have a good shop port and polish the heads. It isn't that expensive and with that and some cams, pipes, and a good air cleaner, you will be in the 100+HP range.
Good luck.
Edit:
If your goal is appearance, then go for it. I think they look cool too. Just remember that with the slip-ons and the new air cleaner, you should probably rejet or you will be running lean. Harley engines HATE to run lean, so take the time to do it right. Rejetting a HD CV carb is super easy though. It only takes about 1/2 hour and your bike will thank you for it.|||The stock carb on the bike you quoted has a 40mm CV (constant velocity) carb on it. Surely there is a hypercharger that will fit the 40... You probably already have, but if you haven't, check out J%26amp;P cycles,perhaps the Kuryakyn web site, and Eastern Performance Cycle...Ride Safe.|||40 mm keihin constant velocity carb. get an S and S carb you will like it more. The hypercharger is a good idea the harley air cover and the S and S cover both draw air in from the rear by the HOT cylinder. Hot air robs horsepower. The hypercharger draws in cool air from in front!
