Picked up this used 2020 a few weeks ago with 15(!) miles on it for several thousand less than a new one would have cost.

V&H FP4
SE wedge stage 1 back plate
Mustang seat with rider’s backrest and pillion
Custom Dynamics headlight, turn signal inserts, tri-bar, bag lights
Wind Splitter windshield and 18” Freedom Shields based on my mood
JES customs fangs
Floorboard extensions
Bootdragger heelrests
Thrashin Supply shift lever, linkage
HD Get a Grip hand grips
Cruz Armor front fork protection (a must IMO)

The RKS is easy to fall in love with. I have basically same setup, WITH the Carlini 16" ganstas. Only my exhaust setup is different. Bet you got the kit from FuelMoto like I did? Do you have the Powervision to tune it right? Done a Dyno tune yet? And how do you like that 22X-E? I love it in my M8!

OGL, it is tuned with power vision & a Fuel Moto fuel map. Haven't Dyno tuned it & probably won't.. It rips pretty good & the chop @ idle is nice. I had the Woods 22X in my 2018 FXBRS & loved it, so I knew I wanted to go with Fuel Moto & Woods again. Fuel Moto recently dyno tuned a RKS with almost the identical set up as mine & it was 119 HP & 130 torque. I asked Fuel Moto for the same map. Not sure what they sent, but I'm not complaining.

Sounds good. If you have the PV and a FM map that should be good enuff! How does the 22X and X-E compare? I think the X-E has more boost at 3K rpm's & up, don't you? I can really feel it kick in at 3K rpm. It's like flying! LOL
I'm getting a bit over 131t & 119HP myself after adding the FM 6" inserts. Here's before & after DYNO:

LOL, it is like flying, gliding on the wind... Stage 2 is a lot of bang for the buck. From roughly 89hp stock to 119hp! Almost a 35% bump in HP. I agree the XE has a little more kick @ 3000 rpm. It's a little tough to compare the X to the XE because the softail was almost 300 lbs lighter & ran like a striped a** ape with the 22X.
Your scoot & Tides has served as a blueprint for what I want to do with mine.
