Default No Fuelie
I'm interested in up grading to something newer than my '90 softail. I like the look of a fat front tire and I'd rather have a carb than fuel injection. What is the last year HD put a carb on something like a Dyna or Fat Boy or something in this size bike?

My thinking on the carb. is that if I have a problem I can rebuild a carb. With the fuel injection.....I'm lost.

My '06 Deluxe has a carb. I think '06 was the last year for carberated bikes.
