Got a quote today on a Delphi conversion (closed loop) with all new parts.....$2600!!! So thats a BIG NO!!
I think im going to attempt the dyno tune first. It always ran good before i swapped cams and stuff.....i guess im not looking to break a land speed record here ...I just want it to run decent. If that dont work I guess Im only out $240. Would I love a new bike.......yes but cant swing it right now. Would I love to swap this system out for a delphi...yes but again im just a workin stiff.
A dyno tune will run roughly 9% the cost of the Delphi conversion, or about the cost of taxes on it. Sounds to me like it's plenty worth the money compared to the alternative.

I dont know of too many people that have ran that yet. I made a thread on it and zero people have chimed in. Sounds good in theory though. That is a good price since most other places are well over $500. I think if im going to spend that much on another add on controller I would just get the Zippers kit and swap out the system.

Here's what you need to convert to a carb, rumor is it should cost around $600 or less. Harness is the toughest part from what I hear. Good luck.

My indie is installing an FI2000 PowerPro Auto tune on an 01 RK today. I'm going to Colorado in a couple of weeks on mine but other owner has said he would keep me updated as to how it does. May remove PCIII and replace it with the Cobra if it works on his bike. We have identical engine builds so that will help me decide.

Get a Mikuni and be done with it. I guarantee you will love that bike with a carb on it! I have a 45mm Mikuni on mine and just love it. No maps or anything to fool with and the bike sounds great! Its your cheapest end all fix.. Here is some reading for you. http://www.mikuni.com/fs-carburetor.html

carb conversion
I ride a 97 Roadking, EFI with the mm system. with 75,000 miles of never running right, acceleration stumble, varying idle speeds, exhaust popping/cracking, poor mileage. Every shop in my area, HD and Independent have tried to tune this machine, with poor results. Three weeks ago I gave in and had an independent shop convert to CV carb. What a difference, I should have converted the day I bought it. Took it on a 1000 mile trip to Knoxville, TN and it never skipped a beat. I know the Mechanic took the fuel pump out of the tank, drilled the two bungs and installed a Pingle petcock, Dyna 2000 I ignition/coil. a used CV carb with Dyna-Jet and some wiring. I dont know what year your bike is but if it is the older MM system don't waste your time and money, go for the carb. I liked the EFI starting but the CV starts every bit as easy. If you need more info, contact me and I'll put you in touch with the shop that did my work...for a helluva lot less than the aftermarket conversions. Good luck.

Its a 99 so its got the good ECM. Its tunable im not giving up hope yet. Ill give this guy a chance to tune it for $200 then if that dont work ill go from there. Like i said it never gave me any problems before I did the mods. My biggest problem is figuring out what the previous owner did to it. If it werent for that anybody could email me a map.
