Any one that has these do you think that it made your idle speed higher, to me it seems like my idle speed raised. I could be wrong but just a question

Didn't make my idle speed increase, but it runs a bit smoother.

A BIT smoother??? Sshhhaaawww. I'd say-lol.

As far as the idle.....I have used them on 4 H-D's now and never noticed a raise in the idle. You may just be noticing it one, because you know you changed something and 2, it is idling better because of the added go juice so it sounds different at idle. No worries.

Is there a noticable decline in mpg's after installing x14ied's? I'm thinking about going this route.

I get about 45 to 50 mpg with the X14iED's. More if I'm easy on the throttle, less if I'm having fun.

Sounds good, I might give them a try before buying a tuner.
