Give year and model. Different model injectors for different bike models.

Interesting post. I do a lot of rebuilds and don't just throw new parts just to be doing it. So I always clean injections, do a leak down and spray. I figured there better then some aftermarket from AutoZone. And even there are pretty expensive.

It appears to me no matter the size of engine with in what I have worked on, they all were capable of drowning a engine.

Doesn't the ECM control on and off? They work from idle to WOT.

I do know they are very small however on a Harley.

Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA!

Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!

Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.

And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with that others see at the bottom.

This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it.

​​Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________

You do need different size injectors. They range by flow rate. My Dyna right now is limited because of my injectors. Basically my motor outruns the amount of flow my injectors can provide thus leading to less hp and torque at WOT

As far as the OP. Call HPI and ask them. They will tell you.
