Default Carb to EFI

Is it possible to convert a Carb softail to an EFI, with little trouble? Not sure I would do it, but is it as simple as installing the parts>>

Anything is possible depending how much you want to spend. It is much easier to go from EFI to carb .

It involves changing wiring harness, fuel pump/ regulator,fuel tank, ecm and a host of other parts also, could get very costly unless you find someone with the same bike looking to go the opposite way and you would probably find many wanting to go to carb from EFI

Yep, that sounds like a major pain in the rear to me...
