Hi guys,
Sorry if this was asked previously, but, I was wondering if it is possible to put injection on my 99, which is obviously carb'd. Did search to see if anyone else asked this and came up with nothing. Thanks in advance.....

I would think that you would have to change so many things that it would be cheaper to sell your 99 and buy a Nomad that already was fuel injected.
Just my opinion which may not be worth a whole lot.

Yep, most if not all of the intake assembly, electronics, wiring, fuel tank, fuel pump, just to name a few things. It would be prohibitively expensive, I think. I'm not sure what all it would entail.

Unless you got a wrecked bike that you could take all the parts off, and it would be a big job then. Bobs got the best idea, buy one with FI already on it.

You could do it, but it would be a royal pain. You would need another bike that had it and to transfer over a heck of a lot of stuff. Senders would need to be machined to places on the bike you don't likely have ported to mount them.
You could swap out the engine and then it might go better.
Why are you interested in this?
