For every one who likes the carb there si one who likes the FI. I don't miss pulling out the choke and cranking then cranking again , then playing with the choke for the next few miles. Plus going from a fat boy to a touring bike, the ride is so much better on the new bike, not to mention the fat tire and 6 speed plus bigger motor.

Still, old bikes are like ex wives, there was just something comfortable about them, many memories shared, but it's always better to move on to a younger, curvier model that is eager to please

 

Someone will appreciate her being broken in and still a good ride making some new good times. The bike that is.

 

FI is the way to go. I know what it's like seeing your old bike sitting there as you walk to your new bike, have done it a few times, but nothing feel as good as getting a new bike.
