Have one of each and much prefer the carb because I can work on it and idle sound.

I have a 2007 dyna with fuel injection 96 cu in engine. It's worked very well and starts like a dream regardless of conditions. I haven't done any mods to the engine, just changed slip on pipes and have been very pleased with the performance. I've had carb bikes in the past and like the new fuel injection better.

But I still like my EFI better.
Yup...Mikuni on my 95, love the sound it makes
