how does everybody feel?

are the guys who rolled carb and now run injectors happy or sad ?

I know the Guy that works on all the Pittsburgh Cop "road kings" says injection is the worst thing ever, those bikes see 30 thousand + miles a year, and he says there were less problems, and easier fixes in the carb days....

me myself, i couldnt be happier ridin carbed...I can get her home if she starts spittin and coughin, but you blow an injector your F-ed..


just would like to hear some opinions...

 

LOVE my 06 carb 07 sb fuel injection works good but I think the Fuel injection is a money pit to do anything to a stock bike sh*** for a really good fuel managment system it can run 300 plus to me that just dont make it worth while for just pipe and ac but hey thats just what I think

 

Couldn't be happier with my Street Bob which is the first fuel injected bike I've ever owned. The carb won't be missed. The fuel management (PC III) was a little expensive but easy as hell to mess with and tune.

 

This is my first Harley but I have had plenty of carbed bikes and 4 wheelers in the past. I now have a FI Harley and have had FI quads and wouldnt own anything else. The intial cost of a programmer does suck but the ease of doing mods after that makes up for it.

 

I do my own wrenching, so only carbs for me.

Plus, I have heard the EFI's sound a bit different? Not sure if this is just a rumor or not...

 

Funny you should mention the bit about sounding differently. I've gone off on this rant numerous times through this hallowed forum board. In stock form my 22hp V-Twin lawnmower has a better rumble to it than my '07 SB did. Tends to be a bit embarrassing when all my buds on carbed bikes fire up outside a tavern, scooters making that old Harley loping sound that has become an American icon while mine sounds like its revving to 3 grand. Catch plenty of flak over that.

Good Times.

 

First injected bike, my neighbors are happy that I dont have to run it for 15 minutes in the driveway every morning at 7:30 AM. Now I just start it and go.
When the motors warm it sounds the same, only at startup it runs high idle.

 

not going to lie so simple run, start let is idle for a min good to go, choke babies suck.... but i would go car for large Cube bikes.

 

I prefer injection if the injection is set up properly. I had a carbed FZ1 that was awesome, and an injected V-Strom that was terrible. So far my Dyna, with stock injection has been great. Love the start-up-and-go.

 

oh yes yes it is defferant the old carb'd sound much better where the newer FI bikes have a higher idle not the same "sickness" i must say of my fathers old FLH super G i'll never forget the sound!.
