Just my opinion, but don't take your bike to that guy when you get it. He is an idiot. Get your injected Night Train, you won't regret it.

I agree carbs can be a pain in the ****, great after jetting and tuning, then a couple of hundred miles down the road it starts, stalling, spitting, poor starting. EFI is much better, you just dont have to worry, I've had two Harlies now with EFI and I for one would not go back to the carbed engine. Even Triumph have seen the light and made their bikes EFI,( the carbs are false on the Bonnie ).

glad I bought carbed..
yes I do own tools yes I know how to use them..
mech. for 20 years worked on both inj. and carbed cars both are really good but in the long run carbs are less problem and simpler to fix. what I don't have is a lap top to take to the garage and or the knowledge to program fi to get it working right also don't think I would have on if I was on the road and it quit running.. just to many things sensors etc to go bad on efi for me to want to mess with..
his mech is right (imho)and also right about the cam chain tensinors the do wear out I went with gear drive not the harley fix..

You put two identical bikes on the line except one is carbed and one injected. Injected wins.

Never had a FI bike but I can tell you no mater what the weather or temp is I give my carbed Deuce 3 twists of the throttle and it fires up even before completing one revolution. If I have a carb problem I can surly solve the problem myself you can't say the same for FI.
