I wish. I'm hoping to figure out my bikes this year ( both FI ). I'm new to this bike thing so we'll see how it goes.

I know of someone that can ease your learning process on the Harley FI

It is possible to make the MM efi sound close to a carb but still just close, ran out of fuel delivery on the MM and a reworked CV went on and has been rock solid for 2years, did what any normal thinking gearhead does and pulled the perfect CV for a Mikuni 45 and dialing it in with the Wego AFR system. The jury is still out on the Mikuni but you want to talk about nasty idle, oh ya - yes we love our Evo's

I would do that but the bedrooms in my house are above the garage. So I will get the complaint that the exhaust smell is in the house.
