Which Carburetor, S&S or Mikuni?

Thinking of having an upgrade to my stock carburetor. Wondering which one to go with. Either a S&S or a Mikuni. Any thoughts?

What's the reason for "Upgrading".

The CV carb is capable of handling a 100 hp engine with simple but effective mods.

Might want to read this: http://www.harley-performance.com/s-...b-upgrade.html

If I had to chose, I'd go with the S&S.

I have a S&S on my bike, my brother in law has a Mikuni. I bought my bike from him this past spring due to the purchase of his new bike. (with the Mikuni on it)

He says he liked the S&S better. I rode his new bike and couldn't tell the difference, but he's been riding a HD for ALOT longer than me so he would know.
