turfpor,
Not at all, the FI will handle the mod fine. When you go to that extreme the stock carb might need changing and a new carb will cost you around the same amount as a power commander for FI. So with such heavy modfication it might not matter. The little mods is what gets you. It's a lot cheaper to do exhaust/intake mods with a carb. The stock CV carb should be good for up to 90-100 hp (at the rear) at which point it becomes restrictive. So it's cheaper to work with the carb up to 90-100 hp.

True! They may still be American made (right up there with Chrysler) but at least they're not AMF bikes anymore.
