I have had zero experience with the Keihin on the Zilla. I will say that my bored and modded HPR Mikuni is easy to start and tune.
Ain't ever seen it......but I have heard it.

Keihin is a pain to get to idle and start consistently.

Definatly a bored stock Mikuni the keihin's can be a pain to dial in.

Mikuni. CPW carbs has all the details you need. Start here. dimensions everything.
You want the TM and the TMS only.
The Keihin info is ALL there aswell.

 I WOULD CALL Tony at T&N and get a 44mm . These carbs turn the Zilla's into the monster they are supposed to be . Tony is a heck of a nice fella to deal with . You will be happy .

In the right hands the Mikuni is much more tunable.  It has more tuning circuits than the Keihin
