Well since I'm here and want to ask questions, I'm looking for a carbed softail, Prefer a heritage, or fatboy mostly because of the rear fender. Sounds lame but I like the looks. Want something I can strip down to make it my own.

Which year was FI introduced? Any other things I should watch out for?

Thought I read somewhere it started in 94, but it wasnt on all models, just a factory option. I want simplicity. I love my EVO carbed sporty, and I want a carbed big twin!

Simple, sounds great, looks and runs good.

EFI Started in certain EVO models in 97, it was called the M&M EFI and had some bugs. In 2000-1 EFI was available on most models and changed to Delphi which works good. Carbs were available until 2006 but EVOs stopped on most models in 99.... That should cover it...
