If I had to do it over again, I would never buy a fuel injected bike.

My first fuel injected bike, don't miss carbs at all. Never have to mess with fuel delivery and starts instantly and just ride away. No problems to date.

No carb bikes being built now. FI is more complicated to dial in correctly for some tuners, but if you have a good tuner, it is not a big deal. No choke to worry about, no issues going from sea level to mountains for the most part, and a little cleaner...

If you are doing all your own work, then I would probably be intimidated by FI, but if you want a reliable low maintenance ride, with a fuelie, set it and forget it... It is the "set it" part that can be challenging...

This is my first FI bike. I can't see wanting to go back. Starts instantly and you can drive off right away even in the colder temps.

FI is more reliable, better at fuel usage and emmisions(that's main reason why no more carbed bikes) and the other reasons listed above. FI is just better

Those that live around me are glad that I have FI. It is 4:15 when I pull out in the morning...

Your first question was about buying a 07 road king custom, so you don't have the option of not going with fuel injection, every model of 07 big twinn is fuel injected, carb models ended with 06 models and not many of them were made compared to efi models.

Were they salesmen looking to sell carbed bikes they had on the floor?

When you change things around and need to change the fuel air, you just have to go to your laptop punch in a few things, down load and you are done. No more pulling the carb and getting gas all over the place. I love FI George
