I have 2001 roadglide with fuel injection,after many attempts to have it tuned properly I am ready to try changing it to a carb. I have installed Screaming Eagle 211 cams,thunder header,screamin eagle air cleaner and a power commander.But different tuners cant seem to get a sneeze out of it that seems to occur between 2100 and 2600 rpm,only when the bike is just cruising,under full throttle it works fine.Other than buying carb,manifold,ignition module and any other hard parts needed,what is involved in changing it over to a carb.

YOU NEED A TUNING SYSTEM THAT INCORPORATES OXYGEN SENSORS INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.A SYSTEM LIKE THIS THAT IS SELF DIAGNOSING AND AUTOMATIC SELF TUNING.ZIPPER'S THUNDERMAX MANUFACTURES A PRODUCT I USE ON MY 2004 SOFTAIL DEUCE.THIS SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF SELF TUNING YOUR ENGINE NO MATTER WHAT MODIFICATIONS YOU MAKE. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO DYNO TUNE YOUR ENGINE.IF YOU GO TO A CARB SETUP YOUR OPTIMIZED DYNO TUNE IS ONLY GOING TO BE GOOD FOR THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS THAT EXISTED THE DAY OF THE DYNO TUNE.AFTER THAT TIME IT IS NOT RUNNING AT PEAK PERFORMANCE UNLESS IDENTICAL CONDITIONS EXIST.THE THUNDERMAX SYSTEM CONTINUES TO TUNE THE ENGINE EVERY TIME A SPARK PLUG FIRES. HERE IS A LINK TO THIER WEBSITE AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND WARRANTY ARE EXCELLENT. GOOD LUCK! http://www.thunder-max.com/
