I was toying with the idea of putting a kicker on my XBones, but of course I would have to convert to a carburetor. I remember riding bikes with carbs, and I remember what a pain in the *** they can be in cold weather. Why do some people prefer carburetors? I mean, other than the purist thing, is there any advantage or is it all disadvantage?

 

you can put a kikker on your efi...........i will find the link

 

To me the carb bikes sound way better and are easy to work on I would never want EFI

I may be wrong but with the compression in the motors today how friggen big do your legs have to be to kick one over

 

Traded my carb'd sporster for the EFI Heritage. Agree Carb'd sounds better but really like the start & go of the EFI. I would stay with the EFI.

 

Thats the one I was considering. You still need to convert though.

 

I'd like to know how to do the swap too. It's kept me from buying and efi bike. If you have ever seen an efi wiring harness you'd know why. You can run a carb bike with 4 wires. efi = 100 wires. + sensors,ecms, soon throttle by wire all great ways to get stranded

 

Swapping from EFI to Carb is not very difficult on the TC engines... Here is a link with step by step instructions...
