RE: Retrofit EFI?
Sure, it's possible. But is it worth it? It wouldn't be cheap, and it would be time consuming. But technically not difficult.
If you really wanted to do that, find an '06 Dyna or any '07 BT that's been wrecked. Then you can pull off everything you need and sell the rest off.

RE: Retrofit EFI?
Well, it probably wouldn't be worth it to my way of thinking. But this is a wife we're talking about here. Telling them no can be tougher than it sounds.
I was just wondering if there was a conversion kit or something available. Honestly, I'm not even entirely sure what all would be involved with something like that.

RE: Retrofit EFI?
Here's what I'd recommend.
1- Convince the wife that carburetors are very old technology and that she really needs a new EFI bike.
2- Convince her that your Bob is a better bike for her than her ancient (2 years old) FXDL and trade bikes.
3- Since you now have an old bike, you are now in need a new one.
4- Proceede to the dealer of your choice and get a new EFI Bob.

My wife is jealous of the fuel injection on my new Bob.
Anyone know if it's possible to retrofit EFI to an '05 Low Rider?

But it's not really worth the hassle and problems.
You have to get a LOAD of parts and they wouldn't be cheap. You'd need a new intake manifold, fuel injectors, ECM (computer), etc. It's just not really worth it in my opinion.
The best solution is to just trade the bike in a pick up a new or used 06-07. Not only would you get EFI but you'd get all of the upgrades of the new Dyna line which alone is WELL worth it.
In my opinion (for what it's worth) it's not even a tough decision. EFI is wonderful.

So if it's not feasible to put EFI on the bike she's got... she may be S.O.L. and have to suffer with a carb.
