What am I missing?? 117 build
Hey all. Getting ready to complete my install and wanted to lean on the experience here to help me see what I have overlooked.
Bike started out as a 2014 Road King. Love this bike. Decided to convert it to a Street Glide when I found a screaming deal at an insurance auction. Frame was cracked and bent so they totaled it out. Everything else was 100%.
4015 miles on the bike. So I stripped all the good stuff and am selling whatever's left that I don't need.
Had the plastics and tank painted to match. Ran the FLHX wiring harness and began building the motor. Am going to swap the front end and bolt up the ABS pump and module. Touchscreen radio connected to the Wild Boar SG audio system already installed.
What I've done so far:
S&S 117 big bore kit
Darkhorse bottom end including:
Revolution Performance Monster head package:
Feuling roller tappets
S&S adjustable pushrods
Evolution Industries compensator eliminator
Baker 1.5" oil pan
Baker Primary Chain Tensioner
Throttle Hog 58mm throttle body
Fueling 5.3 g/s injectors
Trask 58mm a.c.
D&D Boarzilla
Barnett Scorpion Lock-up Clutch & Basket
and that's it... so please, help me punch holes in this build. What am I forgetting?? What did I overlook??

You mentioned "port work".........
But that means nothing without at least some pics
RINGS ,Piston Rings!
Spend the money on low drag rings.It is the best money you can spend.
A lot of shops overlook this little trick.
Why OH why push and pull 30 lbs when you can do the same numbers with 9 to 12 lbs?
why turn it all into heat /friction?
AND
the BIG one How is this bike to be proposed?
The longer haul or all that you can reasonably get which means shorter lived valve related stuff.
Are the guides cut trimmed?
Guide bosses have a nice boat to them??
It is all a slippery slope and it looks like you have a good handle on it all.
But that means nothing without at least some pics

I had planned to use Techno Research perform a wide band o2 tune on it. Then off to Nitro's in Pasadena for runs on the treadmill. I believe they also are a technoresearch shop.

bike is my daily "driver". Only car I own is a 1963 DeVille Convertible that gets driven for the pure pleasure of it. Lots of long trips across country and into Canada.
