RE: carb or FI ?
I've had both, and still have both. 2 are FI & 2 are not. The 2 that are, I ride mostly on the long hauls, the 2 that aren't are "bar hoppers". I traveled many miles on a carb 97 Road King before the FI bikes. I've never had any trouble out of either. As far as mass opinion, I'm a dealer, and get more buyers on FI, than carb bikes. Could all be a mental thing. 6 in one hill, half a dozen in the other.

My only carb is on my snowblower, and, I understand they will be FI soon. Carbs were originally designed in the early 1900's - did a good job for many years. With the advent of computers and epa regs, carbs will go by way of the dodo bird shortly. FI is truly the way to go - in fact, I can't think of too many good reasons not to go FI.

1. Cost more.
2. Absolutly no access to tuner equipment and you do all your own mods. Anyone [almost] can tune a carb.
