Softail Carb & EFI switch - possible?

[RyanPitch]

Let's say I've got two 2002 Softails. They are different bikes/colors/paint jobs, so I am not able to simply swap fuel tanks.

One's got a carb and one's got EFI. I want to switch (i.e., put the EFI on the carburated bike and the carb on the EFI bike).

Is it possible?

Why would you do that?

Let's say you own bike A and it's got EFI. Let's say you like/want EFI.

You're on Craigslist and you find bike B for a good price. You like bike B better and want to buy it. It's carburated. You plan to sell Bike A once you buy Bike B.

You think, "Well, they're both Softails, so in the short period of time that I own both bikes, I'm going to transfer all of the components that I like best (hand grips, handlebars, seat, lighting, etc.) to the bike that I plan to keep. I'll put the lesser components on the bike that I plan to sell and sell it."

One of the components I would like to keep is EFI. The bike I'm interested in buying is carburated. I know, not a HUGE deal, I was just wondering if it's possible (and I'm guessing the answer is "no").

The answer is yes, with a couple of qualifications. Bedemonster on the forum can fill you in with the specifics. Try sending him a private message.

Not worth the effort. I perfer a carb you perfer efi but trying to get someone to buy a used bike that has been converted is not going to be that easy
