Default Tapping noise from engine not good
I have a 17 ultra Limited. Dealer added the stage 3 kit last week. I've put about 200 miles on it since this was installed. yesterday it died while cruzing down the highway. When I restarted the bike there was a loud tapping noise coming from the engine. Took it to the dealer and they think it could be a cracked head. Seems this has popped up after doing the stage 3 upgrades at a few other dealers according to the HD Rep. 😩

Will Harley be sending the 107, then install the 114 kit? How is this going to happen?

Yes, that is what they will do. They will also stamp the new block with my current VIN so everything will match.
