No signs of ANY heat issues whatsoever, during tuning.
Why should there be?

Looks like they used the SE 64mm and ported the manifold. Says a lot about the factory head.

I believe I'm going to open up the lower end of my 2018, replace the flywheel and see what I can get out of a 128.

Approx $4500.00 with tuner, and tuned, as long as we have a good pipe to work with.
Higher quality component parts than OE, so engine life should be at least equal to a stock bike.
Not a hot-rod, just a strong Road Glide touring combo, with actually less compression/ccp than a stock M8.

No, they are using the 64mm TB and a CNC ported manifold

Ah....we are more focused on the low-mid where a heavy loaded touring machine can really take advantage or that instant throttle response.
FWIW, the speedometer moves faster than the tach......

100% this! I'd ride my bike anywhere without thinking twice about it.

Just out of curiosity though, what are you seeing for peak rear head temps as read by the ECM?

That’s how that Harley/ProCharger was born. Huge power gains and pretty darn reliable for the people that want it.

I had put about 2,500 miles on her, than I moved on to another project. I ran it with a Drago's 2-1 pipe and it screamed running down the road. Burned through a lot of rear tires though

Very interesting build! Wonder what could be expected with stock heads...
