Congrats on the new bike, night trains are sweet, I seriously considered one myself.

About three weeks ago I went on a road trip with some guys and one of them had an 06 carbed train with some killer pipes. That bike sounded so bad ***, to be honest, it made me wish I would have got a carbed bike, I hate how high the FI bikes idle.

Have fun!

Rick

I bought an 06 carb train in March. Best thing I ever bought! A friend bought a 06 standard fi and wishes he had a carb! Much cooler old school feel and sound. I agree with the man that stated that you can purchase a fi bike anytime in the future!

get the carb if you like screwing with something for hours to get it right.

The '07 HD lineup has FI across the board...they stopped carbing bikes in '06 due to the EPA/emissions requirements. The FI bikes burn cleaner and get better gas mileage not to mention the ease of tuning on a FI bike...downloads/fuel management systems (SERT, PCIII, Fuelpak, etc.) are fuel/wrench free and fairly simple to work with/modify once you get familiar with the technology behind them.

Obviously some of the above posters have no business doing any mechanical work by their comments. hours to tune a carb? lol a complete rebuild will take less than that. ...and if Ford were to turn out a mustang with the same carb setup as the 85 they would sell like hotcakes, Id buy one in a heartbeat. ...and the 06 carb'd harleys get 8mpg more in the city than the 07efi.

Never gave it a second thought. Loved my EFI 05. Bike was destroyed by a drunk illegal Mexican immigrant. The idle speed is adjustable. You can get it a little lower. It's EFI. Here's a shot of my old one and my new one before they do any of my bolt ons.
