btw TM isnt a Harley CV.
Get a later CV with a pumper, if you dont need it you can always disconnect it.
As some one has already said CV's are 'self compensating" and its hard to overcarb an engine with a CV. Real easy to overdo it with slide carbs and 38 or 40mm flatslide would probably be too big for this engine in stock form.
Same with putting a car carb on, probably run like crap because the carb will be too big.
You could always try one of the stock carbs off the bike.
good luck
