thanks, i'll have to check mine once she's out of hibernation... i think it's around the mid-900s but don't remember it sounding as low and lumby as yours... it could just be winter-madness or mod-envy kicking in tho!

Just read your entire thread, stoked for you! I've felt your throttle body bolt on blues, lol! I have heard good things about KIWI myself, looking forward to reading about how it all tunes up!

Thanks so much for the kind words. Yeah the TB was probably the biggest challenge of them all. Wish I had thought of soapy water or lube prior would have made things much less frustrating!

Getting pretty stoked about heading to kiwi, great reputation, strange that there are so few tuners in this area, would have thought there would be more, yet almost everyone I've spoken to that live here asking for guidance have given me blank stares.

Same here. I wound up going with the Thundermax so as not to worry about having to find a tuner in the area. I heard about Kiwi a few months after I finished my build.

Need some help here, looking for the Cometic Top End Kit with 0.030" Head Gasket for my 2014 Street Bob 103. Is it C9844 or not (my dealer said it is for 99-04 twin cam models)?

Here now, great guy. Taking his time to get the bike set up right. Ended up adding some pop rivets in the headers so that he could attach his wide bands. Unfortunately just found out that I have a small exhaust leak from my install so pulling the exhaust off and replacing the gaskets. Feeling a bit embarrassed but Barry is super cool, just another day in the office was his remark.

Hopefully that's the only challenge.
