Default HD 131 Enhanced

Parts have arrived and the bike goes in the shop early January. Riding a 2021 UL with a HD 131, V&H header, S&S mufflers, HD Ventilator a/c with FM BMF filter, tuned with the HD tuner and HD auto tuner.
Bike currently has about 4K miles, I’ve had it less than a year and only had 215 miles on it when I bought it. Other than mufflers, Trask trans vent and BMF filter the bike is as I purchased it.

Parts - APE/CR 515 cam, SE cam plate/oil pump, SE 68MM TB/Manifold and 6.8 injectors. S&S lifters, cuffs and push rods. Adding SE 1275N springs to the SE clutch. Swapping to FM 2/1/2 Jackpot XXX header and staying with the S&S mufflers with DB reducers in place. Will be tuned with PV.

Should have an update mid-late January!

Interesting, did you get the TB/Manifold yet, can you tell me if the fuel rail is included with the manifold?

Thanks and good luck,
Mike

Yes, I have the manifold and TB. I will check a little later today as they are still in the box.

Looks like the fuel rail is included according to the box. If you want me to open the box I can, just planned to leave it sealed until I take it to the builder.

Great news, I received a call today and they are picking up my bike tomorrow to start the work. A couple of additional parts on order, so it might be late next week before they start working on it. Should have it back the week of January 16.

I’ll post updates and results as they are available!

I think you will leave a lot on the table by using the HD tuner

I’m not using the HD tuner. It will have a base tune loaded by PV, then put on a dyno and finally the builder will ride the bike to make final adjustments to the tune. This process should ensure a really good rideable bike, while minimizing the stress of hours on a dyno.
