Default I need advice

I am currently looking at buying another Harley. I have not owned one for a few years (last one being an 02 Iron Horse) anyway I have a chance to purchase 2 different Night Trains

NT 1. 2005 Black Cherry in color with many upgrades. It has a 95ci Big Bore kit, Rinehardht pipes, All stainless bolts, Screaming Eagle ignition, Factory drag bars that have the wires ran internal. Alot of pay attention to details on this bike and it is simply beautiful. It has 16k miles and can get it for 14,500.00

NT 2. 2007 All Black. It is all stock accept for the Vanes and Hines Shortshot pipes. Other than that it is already a 96ci and it is fuel injected instead of having a carb and has a 6 speed instead of a 5 speed. It has a couple small scratches and has 18k and can get this bike for 12,500.00

Since these are 2 different bikes in the aspect of carb vs injection and factory 96ci vs a bike that came 88 but has a kit to take it to 95ci and 6 speed vs 5 speed.

Thanks for any information you can give. Both bikes seem to have been taken care of very well and both have the maint. information and the maint was done at the dealership for both bikes so only Harley certified techs have worked on the bikes.

Thanks in Advance

Fuel injected is the only way to go.......and I was an old carb man for years.

The 05 is overpriced.....

FI vs Carb is a 20 page debate.... I have both... I like both..

I have never had a bike that is FI. How does it compare to a carb bike? I cant get over there until the weekend to ride them. Just trying to do my research before I go.

Is there any Pro's and Cons to each bike?

07, for sure the 05 is way over priced, but it will be up to you... EFI is the only way to go if you ask me

EFI, unless you like friggin with carb issues. It can be rewarding to get a carb just right, but lots of work too.

There is a nice 08 for sale in the classifieds on here. One hell of a deal for what it is.
