Glade you got it fixed. If it is a 03 FXR it is 1450 not 1340. This is not a real big forum and sometimes it takes a few days to get an answer. All so might be no one has your set up and do not know. In my opinion there are a lot better carburetors then S&S. Would not be my fist choice. I rather use the stock CV! Welcome to the forums.
