Default carb swap ?

anyone do the conversion on an 06 dyna yet? im bored with my efi, miss the tuneing and tinkering with carbs and not to mention the better engine sounds.
thinking of letting the dealer do it, or do you think its not a big deal to do your self?

I will be doing it on my 09 but it is on the back burner right now. It appears to be something that is pretty simple and straight forward. The best and most cost effective way I have come up with is to use the Thunderheart stand alone ignition, S&S Super E carb kit for a twin cam, bung adapter for the tank, petcock, throttle cables. For the thunderheart to work all it needs is the crank position sensor, positive, negative and tie into the coil.

I would bet the dealer wouldn't even consider doing it. You would probably have to go to an indy if you didn't do it yourself.

If you do the conversion yourself you should be able to do it for less than $800.00.

Woah ... was kind of surprised to hear a dealership would countenance such a thing to begin with ....

Did they warn you it would void the warranty ...?

If you post your TTS tuner for sale, I think there are a few guys who would probably jump on it ... (post over in the classified ads section of the forum and mention it on your thread here) ....

Would help free up some cash for your carb conversion project ....

Just an idea ....
