Has anybody with a 2000 or 2001 Injected bike(Early EFI) converted to the "Delphi"(2002 and later EFI) ........or converted from EFI to a carborator?

[Ed Ramberger - One_Screamin_Eagle]

I converted mine to Delphi and now use the EFI Tuner

I know someone that would love to.  What was involved in the change?

The conversion to carb is far more complex than you can imagine.  I strongly suggest it not even be a consideration.

Yeah, 'er 'uh, HEADPAN62,
 Forget the Delphi and the carburetor. [smiley=thumbsdown.gif]  Put the NOS to it's azz. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  OTIS can instruct!  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] Later--HUBBARD

I disagree.  THe conversion is not complex.  If you look in the parts books, you'll see that it's just parts, not rocket science.

Mostly cash.  I needed an ECM, TSSM, ECM Mount, Coil and I had to make coil mounts, Spark plug wires and I dropped in a fuel pump/sender/filter/regulator assembly complete.  I then found a tank plug in the parts books to block off the bung that gets disconnected.  Install a couple of wires, change a wire and done.  The conversion to carbureted would be very easy too.

Thanks, appreicate the insights very much.  Had done (once) a conversion back to a carb but had never had the opportunity to compare the EFI systems side by side on a table to see just what would have to be changed to change over to the newer system.  Thanks again.

Screamineagle one,   What conversion is cheaper,carb or delphi.Do you have a shop and are you on the east coast.   I want this old EFi out of my bike...... It is junk!!!!

To convert to Delphi the big hitters are an ignition harness, ecm, tssm and tssm harness if not already equipped, fuel module assy, coil and wires
To convert to carb you need an ignition harness, carb & intake, ignition module
Converting to Carb is cheaper, converting to Delphi I thought was cool.

Thanks Onescreamin eagle, yeah the delphi would be cool but sounds like alot of cash.After several phone calls to harley they said take it to ther dealership that(something is wrong to have poor idle and gas ping)  no chit!! After talking to some of yoy men you find out What is going on.Harley said it is a great unit,Well why did they go to delphi then?Well I will be tackling this project this winter so I will be talking again soon..love this bike,I will convert before selling it!!!(which is what harley factory told me to do if I'm not happy)Nice to tell me after spending 22,000 bucks!!!!!!!!!! Oh and they said the gear change was too show off the ability of the new EFI. [smiley=confused5.gif]

well 1/2 way through converting to a carb....got the injection system and and injection harness off, carb on....waiting for the carb harness to arive from harley and waiting on a ignition on ebay...either pluging off both holes on the tank and teeing off the crossover to get fuel to carb ....or machining a nipple to be able to use a petcock on the efi tank... more to come.....ride-on

Headpan Pingle has A petcock that will work in the FI hole that you are useing now.
