A 600 cfm would be ok and your cheapest route. Might be slightly big...a 570 Street Avenger would be better but they are more expensive. Not really that many smaller carbs unless you find an OEM carb with an appropriate CFM. A friend of mine had a 460 that had a 390cfm carb on it and actually got pretty decent gas mileage.

Unless you're wanting lots of power, a 470 wouldn't be too small, but I think it would choke the engine a little.
