does any one have any information on this I looked at the other topic but it was about 2 years old .
was looking and I have not found anything on the Internet.
thought the bike would run good if the bike had fuel injection on it and it the Valkyrie could be converted

As you probably know, it's been done, but it was custom work. I've coveted the supercharged bikes, and would love to try this route, but in looking at the designs, I've also wondered why a similar intake manifold could not be used to incorporate a large single carb or throttle body fuel injection. The fuel injection I've seen used individual port type injection.  |

What advantage would there be to go to a large single carb or throttle body? I would think that the six carb set-up is as close to multipoint fuel injection as you can get on a carbed bike.

Well for simplicity of maintenance for one, I suppose, but also the ability for performance changes would seem to make it an easier tune. I know that modifications to the air box by some in the past ,in the hopes of finding more power, were problematic because of the ability to match proper fuel flow for the increased air intake. With the right fuel delivery system, I would suppose that performance tuning would be simplified. |

I have been contemplating doing this to my 1500 Goldwing for a while. I actually have a junk engine with a bad transmission to use as a mockup point for an intake manifold. I, too, would like to hear from those that have converted their Valkyries, either naturally aspirated or supercharged. I'm mostly interested in what type of control system was used for the fuel injection or the ignition timing. I don't want to reinvent the wheel with the ignition timing, and especially on the Goldwing, it uses the ICM to control much more than just the ignition, so it may be simpler to have a fuel injection computer that controls just the fuel, and leave the stock ICM in place for ignition timing. But it would depend on what's available, and what others have had success with.

I understand that with the GL1500 Wing manifold you can usea 2 barrel carb, so why not one big one with some mods. I doubt you'ld get the power of the Valk, but it may increase fuel mileage...

I dont know if he will answer but JeffK has gone that route but i think it took a complete redesign. There is already a manifold made for the blower bikes that has a intake manifold that would be easy to incorporate fuel injection on. A injection system that is self learning with a o2 sensor would be great. I am not sure how many hp you would gain but there may be a reliability and driveablity gain that would make it worth it. One of the real problems it the timing issue with spark and injection which is why you may not be able to keep the stock ignition module. I have modified the airbox and tuning was not hard at all, I am happy with the results. I would say that if you are going to go through all the trouble of a injection system that a few tries at the carbs would be easier. I would also say that the heads would need to flow better also in order to realize a true gain in hp. The exhaust ports are somewhat closed in favor of higher velocity as opposed to more flow.
