I thought that Buell changed to a crank sensor that is different from the 07 models.So you are saying the electronics
will work with a carb.Forgive my ignorance
I have never owned a fuel injection bike.

No the electronics will not work with a carb. You'd have to build a dummy box to trick the ecm into thinking all the fuel sensors, injectors, pump, etc were functional. MegaJolt may also be an option. Both will require designing and building custom electronics and possibly coding.

Why? Fuel injection is pretty damn awesome.

i was thinking of attaching a harness to the 1125 so that i can attach some horses to pull the bike. Anyone know how big it would have to be so i can use clydesdales?

It will be a major headache, but it could be done. Your best bet would be to rip out the entire electrical system on it, as the ECM controls just about everything on the bike. A 2007 would be easier to convert, but still would be a challenge.

Carbs are nowhere near as efficient you will IMHO be wasting your time
