Just a note............

Hello and welcome.  I too am building an EFI for my motorcycle.  It is a
1983 FXRS Harley.  Most of all of the aftermarket systems as of now (for
Harleys) are throtle bodies.  They use the spark signal to sync the
injectors and use a minimum of sensors for control. (tps,barometer,air
temp)  I was wondering if you were looking for a more involved control
system or basic EFI.  I would be interested in discussing any ideas you
might develope as far as control.

good luck with your project.
