Man, you can't find anything harley in my area for 6 grand. That seems like a good deal to me. As far as everyone bashing carbs here, this is my first FI bike. Most of the people I ride with are still running carbs. If they are dialed in right, they are just as streetable as injection and you don't need a dyno to do it.
