Why carbs?

[Jimp]

I've seen a few threads here about putting bike carbs on a 2.0 engine and was just wondering why people do this? What effect does the carb conversion have?
Thanks in advance

they do it cos it's cheep.

the effect it has vastly depends on how well its done

Dave Walker, of Emerald finished his last column in PPC with:

I used to be undecided about carbs, but now my mind is made up, I won't have them in the workshop.

Carbs are the reason cams have 'power-bands' on them - with proper injection you should be able to get power over a much wider rev-range.

Only someone with the complete fear on them about electrics would fit carbs to an injection engine.
