lmao... Everyone with an older model wants to fight the new and improved technology. It has always been this way. A sportster shouldn't have EFI like all the other models.... A v-rod shouldn't be liquid cooled. Yeah, the moco are a bunch of idiots... they didn't do any research.... their dyno results are skewed... And yet my 07 EFI continues to dust my coughing carbureted buddies. Well, maybe carburetors are just cooler? Is that it? I have to admit, they sure look cool in the blur of my rear-view mirror

I do understand what you are saying 1200C. I also agree that there is indeed a discrepancy in dyno results. However, I ride these bikes on a daily basis. I can literally "feel" the difference in pull between a stock 06 1200 and a stock 07 1200. Plus, I have been on both sides of the 1/4 mile run off (won with the 07 and lost with the 06... same model (C) and same riders). I will freely admit that I have not had enough experience running these models once they have been modified.... For these results I remain dubious.But at this point... based on my own experience... I believe that the EFI is a better platform to build from.

same displacement... better fuel distribution... If you make similar modifications to your new bike, I have little doubt that the results will be incrementally better. But I have already said that I have only run stock bikes. I don't claim any experience/known improvement after upgrades.

right on bro... I respect that.... Also your bike is is one bad looking machine! If I had it I wouldn't trade it either... I still have much work to do on my stock 07. I love all Harleys... Even those old leaky AMFs lol... If my dad would have kept his old '77 FXS, I would trade my 07 for it without hesitation. I honestly don't believe that EFIisa "huge" improvement, but I do think it's an improvement. Is it an improvement that's worth selling an 06 and taking the loss for?.... Uh... No
