Default Longest road traveled for a Stage 1 in 16 years

Wow! has this been some drama, I started off with a V&H 2 into 1 Exhaust and ordered a FuelPak FP3 and a heavy breather Kit. I went with the Arlen Ness. Well they came in a few days ago and with work and all, I finally got to it today. The Arlen Ness didn't fit, The seller (off of Amazon) sucks and listed it as a 2014 and now is giving me a hard time to return. Decided to go with the basic Screaming Eagle from the local Stealer-ship. Upon first try I had a major gap on the top end between the back plate and gasket. hmm WTF??? upon further research there is this nifty little thing called the Induction Module Bracket that sits between the back plate and the breather screws. WTF is this part I thought. This is my 4th Harley and never had this issue upgrading to a Stage 1. So going against every man code I know, I read the directions. Sure enough the directions said bolt into the Induction Module. After further internet research it was determined that I needed to remove that bad boy. Oh, it involves lifting the tank (no biggie) but damn WTF. Out of all this..my only shining light was the FuelPak FP3. That is a bad piece of work. It connects via bluetooth to any device (yours or a friends) and maps your bike, It also has a Autotune feature that allows it to perfectly tune your bike after riding for awhile to determine the best adjustments for your set up. pretty much a dyno in a box. Well it's late and I like my neighbors so ill start it up and ride tomorrow.

yea, I hear you about that bracket..and it is a bitch to get the screws loose, I thought I was going to snap the heads off of them I had to put so much pressure on them and then 'crack' they come loose...

Hahaha normally i would but they always bring me and the fam baked goodies so I cannot jeopardize that! lol. Thanks, I ran it on idle yesterday and it sounds amazing but i'm playing single dad this week while my ole lady is in Cali so cannot fully test it on the road, but everything synced up perfectly.
