Old Rider makes a good point.....and I respect it......however, a lot of the stuff we do to our rides doesn't NEED to be done, we just WANT do do it.
Some mods like forward controls and seat risers are done for a practical purpose. Others, like big bore kits and LED lighting are done for the fun of it. The challange of engineering something off the beaten path is exciting to some of us. Not so much for others, and that's fine.
There are many many things you could do to a bike to achieve a certain goal. Swaping out a complete engine is one of those things. You could get more power, EFI, dual overhead cams, an open primary, whatever you want. But sometimes it's the project that is the fun, not the end result. If it truly is the end result you're after, buy a bike that already has everything you want. Done. If you're like me, and like redesigning and tweaking things, start modding. And maybe never be done.
So look at an EFI conversion as a project or challenge rather than an upgrade. If it's the upgrade you're after, tried and true cable slide carbs are cheap, easy, and will give you just as much (if not more) performance than a hodge podge injection system. Whatever you decide, keep us updated!
