Yes.
Luftmeister used to have a kit.
Call Chris at CC Racing, SJ BMW Racing , he might be able to help you out.
It can be done and I have lately seen quite a few mentioning that it is more or less just to bolt on the oilhead kit. However... the airhead electrical capacity is not enough so one will have to enhance it...
Either you do as I have done:

SVEAs FRÅGOR&SVAR: Bilgenerator på MC
Or you buy an aftermarket replacement kit:
BMW Motorcycle Aftermarket Alternators
Note:
- study the charts!
Please be aware that the airhead is mainly operated below 3000rpm and in city traffic is tends to be more around 2000rpm... compare this with the charts. My solution superceed this by far - I have 55-90A depending on installed alternator from the rev's I choose pulleys for. I have my bikes giving me full 70A (980W) at 1700rpm.
The answer to your question is: YES!
Counter question is: Why?...
Any slide/throttle carbs is better than the Bing CV. I have Dell'orto PHM 40, but you should not get so large carbs. 800cc should have 34mm and 1000cc should have 36-38 (RT vs RS). It is possible to go 2mm up or down - it affects where the torque response comes and have some effects on full throttle; smaller will respond better at low revs and vice versa.
Let us know how it goes for you with the conversion to fuelinjection! -
