Most new motorcycles will be fitted from the factory with electronic fuel injection.

Retro-fitting a fuel injection system to an air-head will not be as simple as it might seem.
Mapping correct fuel delivery could be a real nightmare –
this was the shortcoming of the boxer fuel injection system marketed years ago by Luftmeister.

RB Racing may still offer an air-head specific electronic fuel injection kit.

This was what I couldn't get past...
The two companies have teamed up to develop an electronic fuel-injection system for the world's two largest motorcycle markets: India and China. Together, those nations build more than 40 million new motorcycles -- equivalent to 75% of the global total -- each year.
I don't know... Third world bikes with computers and 60psi fuel lines being used to haul 100 live chickens at a time?

And when the line blows and the rider drops his cigarette, he's an instant BBQ chicken businessman. It's a capitalist opportunity!

Actually, the first guy to reach his carcass becomes the BBQ chicken (and long pork) businessman. Still a capitalist opportunity though.
