A friend of mine told me just the other day that while at Mountain Boss Hoss Annual Open House this past June he was talking with Tom about F.A.S.T. and Tom was still a carb guy. I'm pretty sure he told me that Bob, Tom's head mechanic thought F.A.S.T. was a good set-up, but Tom wasn't convinced yet. Don't hold me to that Barry! Just what I heard. LOLCanuckHoss wrote:Someone on Facebook just posted that Tom at Mountain has been doing this for years with the F.A.S.T. setup...WTF?..why doesn't this stuff come out..not sure if true or not.
Can anyone confirm??

I know 3 Canadians that took their bikes to Mountain 3 years ago, maybe 4, and all were featured in the Boss Hoss Country mag. None of them were given the option of EFI after their motor rebuilds and upgrades.

Mike Kelly from Summit/Vanquish has said for the couple years I’ve know him that FAST was his choice out of all that he’s tried. Him and Marv are my two go to guys when it comes to performance information.

I guess I am just the only Dealer to be vocal on the Forums and share what I am doing.
When I contacted Mike last November about doing the EFI on my 502 trike during the winter he said it would be a LOT of work and very very expensive. He never mentioned FAST.
Had I known then what I know now and found this week that the F.A.S.T. EFI would fit so well I would have chosen it and ben done at $1,100 USD and not have to change the intake for the Holley Sniper.

Keep up the good work informing everyone on this site! TrikerCanuckHoss wrote:I guess I am just the only Dealer to be vocal on the Forums and share what I am doing.

I also would like to add that it sounds like you have a few intelligent guys working for you. That goes a long way towards getting things done and done properly. That also helps posting relevant information that's up to date.
Thank you for your input and all your information.

Another friend /customer of mine in Eastern Canada has bought the F.A.S.T. for his SB trike and will be installing soon...maybe he will take more pictures as he is doing the work and update and post.

Re: F.A.S.T. EFI for older bikes and trikes
I only got a couple hours of riding the new FAST last October.
I have been riding it for the past 3 weeks and it never missed a beat...highway or city..it rocks!! throttle response is better than the old factory EFI...everything seems better.
I believe my guys have it nailed and the trike will be ready for Florida shipping as soon as I do the rear upgrade kit for the brakes...which has got to be soon as the window for shipping is closing in already.

Re: F.A.S.T. EFI for older bikes and trikes
The fuel in the UK has now changed to E10 which is no good for my Holley Double Pumper, E5 is almost impossible to find at fuel stations and risk running dry (again) while hunting for E5! >:-(
So Barry has convinced me to buy the FAST EFI 30227 - 06 kit on eBay ~ $1,667.17
Looks like fun to fit...

Re: F.A.S.T. EFI for older bikes and trikes
Just been reading back through all this information. Can’t believe this post is four years old. I didn’t even think I’d had the trike that long !! Has there been any issues with this system now it’s getting on a bit. I’ve seen on YouTube F.A.S.T 2 is available but some have had problems. Looks like I’ll be ordering as well now we have E10
