Used to work on Carbs ....... hated it, was a PITA!
I've had 2 EFI bikes in the last couple years and will swear by them.
Carbs are nice because you can tune the bike up, change jets and troubleshoot.

Have two HD's and they both have carbs. I love them, once adjusted they pretty much stay that way. Reliable. Easy of repair if necessary, and relatively cheap to repair. Also easy to adjust to add ons.
EFI expensive from the start and only gets worst if something goes wrong. Not cheap to adjust, and I just don't trust computer control. (though I don't have any reason not to)
I do live at sea level which makes ideal conditions for a carb. so I'm probably a little bias.

......... EFI I live in the mountains at 1,800ft
and Ride Over the 9,000ft Pass's on a regular basis in the Summer
Stay Closer to Home in the Winter.........
I don't know why, but I think carbs sound better. However, I will keep my EFI. All my previous bikes that had carbs ran like crap after riding semi-dirt roads - sucking in junk even with a filter. My EFI has yet to cause a problem in the same conditions.
