Mud, the builder comes from Tasmania Australia, more of his bikes.

ORIGINAL: SPECIAL ED

In contrast, my last three carbed bikes I bought a jet kit, took it to somebody who knows what they're doing, left them for a day, and they were done.

What's the difference between doing that and dropping your EFI bike off at the dyno tuner?

I would put EFI on a Knuck, Pan or Shovel. As long as you hide all the components it is worth it's weight I think.

Also Fuel Injection is not new. It has been around for a long time...LONG. I will let you who doubt it search and suprise yourselves.

Love the injection...less tinkering and more trouble free riding...isn't that the idea?

I'll match my ability to change the fuel pump on my carbed FXD with anyone changing the pump on an EFI. When that pump quits working, you are not going anywhere faster than you can push.

I say if it came stock with a carb, leave it that way if you are after originallity.

That's why my 66 Mustang has tri-power or the stock Autolite 4bbl.

If it's a restomod like a car that was a 6 cylinder and now will be a V8...go EFI.

Same for the bikes IMO. If it's a frame up build and you can do EFI...I say do it. If it was a carb, and you are doing a resto...restore the carb too and put it back on.

What causes the loss of the Potato Potato sound on the efi?
I thought that would be a charateristic of the firing order and single pin crank.

Any one.
