I'll be interested in hearing how round the cylinders are and how well the pistons fit -- seemed to be an issue in the past with moco kits.

Also would be nice to hear what's different with the new heads and how the compare with your own type A and B.

Looking forward to more information and results.
Our initial testing will be the SE Stage IV kit as delivered. The SE supplied pipe appears to be exactly the same as the OEM head pipe with the exception of the Euro4 stamping.

Bottom> OEM head pipe

hope you're using the SEPST as a baseline for folks, first do the ecm calibration, then dyno tune that with SEPST..then you can work your magic in stages so folks have a good understanding of how much you will improve upon it with upgraded components and tuning, etc

To answer some of the requests and questions we are getting on the 2020 FLTRXS Screamin Eagle 131" build we are doing we put together the following info.
1) we will be initially assembling the Stage IV 131 kit as delivered from H-D including the catalyst exhaust. We are also using SE air cleaner and SE Pro Street Tuner.
2) any variance or substitutions from the H-D spec'd components will void the vehicle powertrain warranty as well street legal status. (example: you cannot use a different exhaust, air cleaner, or tuning device and retain warranty)
3) after our initial evaluation is done we may test some aftermarket components with the kit. We however want it to be very clear this will affect the warranty & emissions compliance on these engines & kits, any modifications we perform with this kit will be for test purposes only.

The way I was told on the 131 kit or engine it MUST be installed at an HD authorized dealership to retain the warranty, so you may want to be very careful on it if your looking to maintain the warranty. Otherwise, it only comes with a parts warranty which I believe is 6 months on the kits and 1 year on the engine package if you buy that. The rest of your two year factory warranty will be out the window for the Powertrain.
