| TC88 EFI to carb help needed [message #778970] |

A round of cold ones to you all.
I have gotten myself roped into a project build for my boss. He has a
TC88 from a 05 Roadking that he has decided needs to be in a bike. It
was pulled from his King with about 500 miles, when he had a 121 horse
(I've seen the dyno sheet) motor put in. It is a complete engine,
minus EFI and electric. Those were used on the new motor.
I need some help deciding how I'm going to get this running. I am a
Harley newbie, but am proficient in wrenching everything from old VW's
to 5000 hp marine diesels. I would like to go with a carb setup, and
need opinions on brand/size. Also, need options on the electric end
(alternator, ignition, etc) to work with the carb. Any one with
experience changing EFI to carb would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Nothing wrong with the stock CV that comes with the carbbed
models. Should be fairly easy to find used, at a decent price. If
you don't mind spending more, a Mikuni HSR42 is a real nice carb. The
intake manifold may be a little harder to find, unless you know
someone who's changed the heads and has the stock one.

Stock H-D stuff works well here too. Alternator will probably
need to be bought new, since used is real rare (and of dubious
condition).

Piggy backing here:
I still have a CV manifold from my 99 RK. I installed the HSR45. I can
put it on the EIII auction if I can find it.
