Default single fire vs dual fire

I have an 05 springer softail with EFI and single fire ignition. Can this bike be converted to dual fire?

Hmmm, I can find a bunch of them for carburated twin cam engines, but not any for EFI models.

Thought thats what made the older bikes sound like the V-Twins that I'm used to hearing. No other reason then me wanting my TC to sound like my EVO 1340

Changing to single fire in the EVO engines made sense. Less vibration, better fuel economy, etc. Yes, I can testify that it made my EVO vibrate less and I got better fuel mileage. I never had it dyno'd so I can't testify to any hp or torque increase claims.
