	Mikuni HSR48 Easy Kit Here’s a REAL Racing Carburetor for American Big Twin Monster Motors! Mikuni's HSR48 Flat Slide. This smoothbore carburetor offers the highest air flow possible while providing highly accurate fuel metering, more power, and Mikuni’s renowned precision throttle response. A new extended main jet and larger fuel valve assure ample fuel supply for very powerful engines. The HSR48 offers all the same features as the popular Mikuni HSR42 & HSR45 Carburetors for Harley Davidson Twins. All HSR carburetors are designed with an 8-roller bearing flat throttle slide assembly that allows an unobstructed venturi at full throttle to flow more air, while it carburetes more precisely at all throttle settings. Mikuni’s roller bearing throttle slide offers smoother throttle control and allows the use of a lighter throttle return spring for reduced throttle effort. And the Mikuni adjustable accelerator pump provides instant throttle response in any riding or performance application. While a high capacity float bowl prevents fuel starvation even under full throttle applications. The new HSR48 comes complete with rubber mounting flange, choke cable, remote idle adjuster and additional jetting. Contact your local dealer to order and visit www.Mikuni.com for more information.

	Lee Chapin Leaving Mikuni American Northridge, CA, Jan 1st, 2010 - Lee Chapin, Aftermarket Carburetor Division VP has accepted an early retirement package offered by Mikuni American Corporation after 24 years with the company. The division supplies performance aftermarket carburetors, related parts and tuning components to manufacturers and distributors in the Motorcycle, ATV, Personal Watercraft and Snowmobile industries world wide. Chapin will move on to explore new opportunities within the Powersports and American Big Twin markets. Chapin entered the motorcycle industry in 1974 selling Boge shocks. He was appointed Sales Manager at Mikuni American in 1986 where he expanded the division and supported National Championship racers to victories in all aspects of the sport. He brought to market many successful new products including the RS Smoothbores, Super BN Jet Ski Carbs and the popular HSR Carburetors. Lee also worked with Mikuni’s advertising agency Gianatsis Design to introduce the world to FastDates.com Motorcycle Calendars and the former Mikuni Calendar Motorcycle Show, now the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show. “Working with Mikuni Carburetors over the years afforded me incredible opportunities. I was given the chance to travel the world and do business with many top companies and great people; many of whom have become life long friends”, states Chapin. Mikuni American, like other Japanese companies, has been down sizing its operations to better reflect the changing economic conditions. No replacement for Chapin is planned at this time. Steve Webb, long time Mikuni Carburetor Sales Assistant, will now take over the duties of running the Carburetor Division and maintaining distributor relations. “I wish the very best for Mikuni American and the remaining staff. I carry with me the fondest memories of my extended family, some of whom are also leaving the company.” Chapin‘s personal life was dealt a severe blow this past June with the loss of his wonderful wife Shelly. “My children, with their families have made all the difference, supporting each other as we look forward to a brighter tomorrow,” said Chapin. “I hope to secure another position within the motorsports industry where my marketing and management skills would prove to be valuable.” Lee Chapin can be reached by email at leechapin@sbcglobal.net.
