I had my motor built up a little, and added a S&S. I was thinking of changing to injection. Anyone know what i'm getting into???

funny, I want to go from injection to carb. If you switch let me know what you want for your carb and accsesories. or I'll trade you all of my injection suff from my 1999 for your carb stuff. personally I would stay with the carb unless your planning on changing to the delphi injection system, then it MAY be worth it....I like carbs so i'm byass

I did it to mine. My bike is an 05 electra glide.
Best thing i have ever done. You loose a lot of performance with a carb vs efi. Not peak numbers but rideability and good manners..

Well, its easy if the fuel tank you are using will accept the efi hose/fitting as my 05 bagger did.
ECM, wiring harness, sensors, tbody, fuel pump assy, and seom other various parts.

For my 05 the Efi harness plugged right in, no splicing needed.
Fuel pump fit right in, no mods needed.
T/body and sensors were direct fit.

Took all of about 4 hours to do.

On my 117 it did add 4 hp and tq over 3 different carbs. But starts easier, runs cooler, get better mileage, better throttle response. Not a mod for everyone as it aint cheap. I only did it as i have one of the best efi tuners in the country 100 miles fromm me. Jds cycleworks .
