Default Electraglide question
I was wondering what year the electraglides switched to efi from carbed models? I searched the forum and was unable to find any info.

Search for when EFI was introduced. There were several years where you could get either. I had the choice when I bought my 2003 FLHTI. I know EFI had been out a few years before that in various forms.

thanks guys, looking to get an bagger here soon. I rented a 2012 limited in florida for a few days and really loved it. Are there ways to make it comfy for a bigger guy? I'm 6'4'' and I felt a little cramped on it. I've seen a few with apes behind the batwing, I was just curious if the fairing was adjustable at all. Any idea how far out I can extend the footboards? I also noticed around 70mph+ my helmet was vibrating so much my vision was blurring. Taller windsheild or recurve fix that?

Yeah 16" apes and a tallboy seat plus extended shift and brake pedals, plus highway pegs, plus raise the windshield to a 10" windsplitter. Will fix all those issues
