I installed a new pcv from Fuel Moto tonight. The bike ran well until I hit the high rpms then it just cut out and lost power until I got out of the throttle. This was in every gear. I sent Fuel Moto a e-mail I thought someone with a pcv could tell me whats going on. My bike is a 2005 Road King 88 with a K&N RK3909 filter, and Jackpot 3.5 mufflers. Any thoughts?

What are you calling high RMP's? Bumping the rev limiter?

I installed the new pcv and took the bike out for a run, I got on the throttle pretty hard and as the bike is accelerating and increasing rpm it fluttered and the power backed down. I may have hit the rev limiter? With no tach. I am not sure of rpms. It just seemed like I still had throttle and It happened in several gears.

Yep, sounds like you're hitting the rev limiter. Do you know what it's set at? You should be able to adjust it using the tuner. I wanna say stock bikes are set around 5800, but I may be off a touch.
