No it is not a Street Glide, I added a batwing to it as well. I will be riding it 1200 miles next weekend and I will let you know how she does.
I hope you like it.
What inner fairing did you run on your batwing if you don't mind me asking? I have 2017 as well and was looking to run the inner fairing with no speaker/radio cut outs.

2) Weeping rear cylinder valve cover gasket. I am going to hold on fixing as I plan a 114 kit this winter. But Harley will credit that part of the repair on the 114 kit I hope.

I added a new front fender and my custom integrated highway pegs that I made. Trying t decide if I am going to sell a few of them as well. Let me know what you think
You got lucky. We all know that turbo caused that control module to **** can. HA! Or atleast thats what they would have told me if I was in your shoes. Kinda like a cam causing the rear brake light to fail. Its common haha.
All Jokes aside I look forward to seeing the dyno numbers. I dont have the bank account to go adding turbos to my new bike but if I did you can bet your bottom doller I would. nice bike btw. Im digging the fairing on the road king!

I appreciate your efforts but why would you eliminate the aux lights? Makes it look exactly like a Street Glide.

Harley did that, he started with a Road King Special, which does not have the aux lights
