First we should confirm usage. Is this vehicle a daily driver or weekend cruiser? For daily use, the fuel injection route is the way to go. Better fuel efficiency, easier starts especially in winter. Less warm-up time, no stalling, bogging, etc. that comes along with carbs

If its a weekend cruiser, stay carbuerated. It gives the car character and adheres to the original design. You can also make grab gobs of power cheaper and easier. I perfer to see a carb on top of a motor in a classic ride vs. the pro-touring look

The carb vs. FI is a battle fought to no end. Its like comparing Ford to Chevy, although we know which one is better... haha
