A Mikuni HSR for my Harley? which one?

Ok up and running pretty good here.....
But
It is now dwn to perhaps-
FDR, and a better carb ,
To outline not brag-
The stats are -
A 1994 Evo FLHR 5speed
Stock stroke.
Axtel 85 inch 10.5 CR forged pistons ,cast iron cyl (less less movement )
Head cut to fit pistons
.030 squish band,
Dual plugs run by Daytona twin tech.
Dave Mackie 530 cam and springs
slight port polish
.060 over Manly valves.
Thunder headers.
Now my Question - Which Carb? HSR 42, to 45?
Or a Flat sided one?
I have done all the tricks to the CV but it lacks.
BUT-
There are so many choices .....
I do use this as a cruiser too.
I get the pitch that the HSR42 (more velocity )is better, to the 45 bigger,Bigger is better theory .
Confused in a mid life crises here ! LOL
At 500 bucks a whack mistakes are hard tolerate .
Thanx.
