Greg,

Assuming you had to buy all the parts for this and could sell off your used carbs, approximately what would the net cost would be? Also, how much weight would it add?

What kind of horsepower and/or driveability gains are there over the stock carbs? It'd be interesting to see hp / torque / AF graphs for the same bike with well-tuned carbs vs. a well-tuned fuel injection system.

I love to tinker and have already upgraded the intake and exhaust on my bike and started doing some minor weight loss / aesthetic mods, but I just wonder about the cost vs. the benefit of changing the fuel system to FI.

From a black box point of view, it would be nice not to have to fiddle with a petcock or choke lever, but what about the performance out on the road?
