Default Carb to Fuel Injection Kit ?

I have a 2000 Harley Davidson Duece with a Big Bore Kit.
Does anybody make a kit to change it from a carb to fuel injection ?
I've had many fuel injection bikes in the past, and I have a friend with a 2008 Harley Davidson Roadglide with a 103ci kit with cam and race tuner, and they start so much better than a bike with a carb does with no effort nomatter what the weather is.
Bobby.

You should hook up with one of the guys that are getting rid of their fuel injection and going carb, LOL. Seems like there have been a few of those threads lately.

If your bike is starting hard, change plugs. The M&M injection set up on a 2000 Harley is a giant step backwards. You'll spend a lot of money and time to make your bike run worse that it did before. After that you'll spend more on a tuner and dyno tuning to get it to run right and any time you change anything it's back to the dyno, instead of a simple jet change. Your bike should start fine, just pull out the enrichener (choke), and twist the throttle a couple of times, before hitting the starter when the bike is cold. Let it run a bit before taking off. I know with an FI bike you can ride right off, but it's better to let the oil warm and circulate a bit before riding anyway.

Hi:

Just saw your question. If you don't mind a blatant plug, my company PerformanceFI makes a conversion kit for carb to EFI for Vtwins. We don't have a kit for a Twin Cam yet but we will soon. If your engine is an EVO our kit is exactly what you need. Check our web site at www.performancefi.com.

Really?

No, why would you do that? No offense.
Carbs are great !! Harley (had to) change them to meet
strict epa regs. Much more flexability w/carb.
My wife has an 03 Heritage (injected) Stage1, K&N , pipes etc.
Oil temp is minimum 20 deg hotter on any given day.

Sorry. I'm a dinosaur. I love my carburetor and my throttle cables and my choke . . . and my petcock (on off . . . off on . . . reserve )

It's run flawlessly for 10 yrs. I have to admit, it was tuned by the best of the best (in my opinion - Horsepower Expr - Campbell, Cal)
