I think I will check again for an intake leak. Some say use non chlorinated brake cleaner. Is it safe for the rubber seals and plastic manifold? Thanks

This part is the SE throttle body - is there no metal backing plate that will fit a stock 114 throttle body?

Edit - my bad, that's what you said, but am curious if there's a metal backing plate that I can replace the plastic one with, or (extremely likely) do I have no idea what the F I'm talking about?

Obviously. How about another beer? Lol

Seriously, the part number provided is the 55mm SE aluminum intake manifold. FedEx man dropped off today. Not a throttle body. Details on HD site...

I’m having idle issues as well. I’d like to know if this fixes it.

After it gets warmed up good, it idles pretty high. Too high. Will hunt for idle some after first starting up while let it get to temp. I’ve tried the reset multiple times with no luck.

I have read where others have had issues, so thought I would ask here for a fix if any.
Thanks

This is what mine does.
I doubled checked for an intake leak and it does not have one that I can find. I have a Power Vision and it was worse with the first map Fuel Moto sent. They sent me a revised map and helped a lot but still is a little weird.
