New Mods, have a few questions?
Thanks, and that's what I had thought I just wasn't sure why when I started this so I wanted to make sure.
I do have another question though, I thought the programmer was going to raise my rev limiter but it's still set to 5500? I'll give them a call tomorrow to find out about it I think it's just an option I have to enable in the tuner, I think? But my question is did they deliberately leave it stock or can I safely raise it a little?
I understand the potential problems or increased wear, bent rods, etc. but it's not like I'll be making a habit of driving around bouncing off the rev limiter, I'm thinking it would just be a bit of a buffer if you will. 99% of the time it'll be well under 3k anyway

I ride with my gears WIDE OPEN always. Motors are meant to be pushed that way.
Contact Fuel Moto.
Alright fine, I hit it a few times today... that's why I know it's still only 5.5k 
If I get on it sure I'll hit the limiter fro time to time but that's why I figure the higher it is the more time I have to shift 
Anyway what is yours set at, I would sertainly think these motors can safely take a few more rpm's right?
Oh well. I talked to fuel moto and they seem to think "there is absolutely no reason not to raise it" so I'm gonna raise it when I get home.
I can never get any detail out of this guy though. I'm sure he's done this so many times before he knows it's fine, but I get a little worried when you ask about something technical like that and just get yeah it'll be fine you know

Alright, new subject...
Rather than starting a new thread I'll try here first, two questions.

I just got the correct air filter today, or at least I think I did, but this cover doesn't fit. These Harley Air Cleaner Trim pieces are supposed to bolt right onto the screaming eagle type filters right? I got it on but I had to put a spacer in between the filter and the star bracket that it connects to. I don't recall anyone else having to do this? Is this normal and either way does anybody have a better part to use than an oil cap I stabbed a hole through?
It looks to be about a 1/2" or so I think, what size is the bolt? I can probably find some sort of rubber isolator or something once I figure out the correct space and bolt size.
