What bike is that on? A Low Rider-S? Printout says '16 FXDB-I and 103ci...

Those numbers don't seem realistic for an otherwise stock 110 with only a TH.

Fairing is a Lockhart Phillips Universal Cafe Racer. Mounted using 2 turnsignal relocation clamps on the fork tubes and supplied bracketry that came with the fairing, along with misc nuts and bolts from Lowes. I also fabricated a strut from the upper inside part of the fairing to the stock inside upper fairing bracket for a stabilizer. Needed to add a 1 1/4 inch spacer under the headlight mounting block to center it in the fairing headlight hole. Headlight is recessed quite a bit, but works well. Debating on whether to fabricate another mount to bring it closer to the fairing or not. I'm going to add some plates on each side of the fairing to enclose the bracketry and give it a more sleek appearance. I like to use fender washers, rubber washers and nyloc nuts when working to mount plastic stuff; a lot less chance of cracking from vibration.

Stock, with the exception of the baffles being removed mine made 94 hp and 111 ft lbs. a few adjustments and I lost a few hp, but picked up some torque. Ended up with 90 hp and 117 ft lbs. Waiting for my RB Racing Pro Stock to come in and I'll go with the 117" kit and then I'll get it tuned.

@Mchad, it is my FXDLS....I meant to get pics today, but ran out of daylight. I read the fine print on the dyno after I got home, and saw the 103ci and was like WTF, but then thought that's just a note, and I could trust the numbers. If you think differently, I'll definitely be stopping back to recalculate.

No need, I've just never seen 125 out of a 110 with a pipe and a tune only. You are very lucky.

I haven't seen those numbers from just exhaust either.... I only got 103/118 with a Bassani RR3, Rivas 574 cams.

My FXDLS:

Thunderheader (defintely loud AF)
MasterTune2/dyno tune (runs cooler/smoother, increased mpg)
Roland Sands Boss seat (passenger seat not comfortable, but I like the stitching)
HD detachable sissy bar
LeatherPro detachable saddlebags (expensive but worth it)
GBG rear turn signal relocation (better night visibility)
HD passenger pegs

Future: 12" apes

Default Installed my Ultra Cool oil cooler

I installed my ultra cool oil cooler this weekend. This bike needed a cooler bad, I don't know why one didn't come on the bike. The bikes in the press release pictures for the magazine intro had coolers on them.

I looked at all the oil coolers. And had a hard time deciding which one to get. HD or aftermarket. Side mount on the down tube or low mount. This bike really gets hot fast in traffic and waiting on lights. So a fan assisted cooler seemed to be the way to go. I've had water cooled bikes that the fan would blow hot air on your leg so I wasn't crazy about a side mount in front of my leg.

The install went fairly easy except routing the left hose. I looked at the pictures on the ultra cool website and tried several routes until I was satisfied.

I will give a tip to support the motor with a jack when installing the heat exchanger mounting bracket. That will prevent stripping or cross threading the top bolt when putting it back in. If you don't support the motor when you loosen the bottom bolt after removing the top bolt the motor will drop down and the top mount hole will open up and be out of alignment with the hole in the frame. Support the motor on any brand of cooler that mounts this way.

I ran the wire along the right side frame rail to the area under the seat and used Harley's electrical connection harness part#72673-11 to tie in switched power.

I rode it about 5 miles so far and no leaks and the fan runs like it's supposed to. I'll put a few miles on and change the oil.
