H-D has used Keihin butterfly and CV type carburetors since 1976. The same injection molded fuel inlet elbow is installed on both types. The OEM plastic elbow breaks easily, can be affected by today's fuels and has a restrictive flow rate. Creative Cycle Products fuel inlet elbow is made from brass and flows 40% more fuel. . The elbow is designed to be a direct replacement for the OEM item.
To remove the broken end that is lodged in the carb, try threading a self tapping screw or a proper sized bolt into the broken piece and pulling it out with this.

Break the plastic off and tap the piece left in the hole with a 1/4 x 20 tap. Screw apiece of threaded rod into the fitting and slip a socket over the threaded rod and then use a washer and a nut on the rod to pull the fitting from the carb. Replace with a brass elbow carb fitting. Tap it in with a small hammer or press it in. No "O" rings. You may want to put the new brass replacement in the freezer for a while to make it easier going in.
