Default M8 Engine modified to Carburated. CAN-Bus Removed

I am relatively new to posting here and have not posted much. I am still under the learning curve, so please forgive if this has already been posted.

This is an interesting modification that I found on an West German website. A 2018 Street-Bob is converted from EFI to carburetor, with the stock CAN-Bus completely removed. Going "old-school" with new engineering.

The website for the build is: http://www.amm.haan.de/Milwaukee-Eight/M8.htm

That might be one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard. Whatever floats his boat but I think it’s silly and a large step backward in technology.

someone should ask him if he could possibly be any stupider, but he'd probably take that as a challenge and try and convert it to a kickstarter or something

All of that money, work, and inferior tech ain’t, ain’t, ain’t worth a cool sound.
