Default Road Glide Build

Hi. So, used to be on the dyna side of the forum, but sold the bike and it looks like the forum forgot me! Got re-set up today.
To get to the point of the thread, I have a ‘16 RG that I have started building. Specs are as follows:
S&S 107 Big Bore
S&S MR103 Cams
S&S TC3 Cam Plate and oil pump
Jackpot RT 2-1
FM Pro Billet Stage 1 AC
FXR Division MX TBars
Krause Raptor Plate
Klockwerks 14” sportflare(Dark)
...and much more planned. Let me know what you think!

Looks sharp. Those bars aren’t my thing, but that’s just me.

Can’t wait to see the numbers from that build, but until then how does the butt dyno feel?

I am still in the break-in period, so haven't been able to really do anything yet. The little I have done it feels good. The shop that installed everything got a basic map from Dynojet, but I reached out to Jamie at FM and he set me up with 107" base map from one of their 107" builds. I think that map with a dyno tune on it is gonna be nasty. I am pretty stoked on it!

Thanks guys. I am hoping for a 110/120ish dyno. First time doing this much motor work, so it’s a learning experience for sure.

Sweet bike and build!!! I am really liking the bars and have not noticed anything like them on a bagger before. Can always appreciate someone going outside the norm. Look like 14", maybe 16"? Checked out the website and not much on specs so what is distance bar end to bar end?

Thanks! The height is 14” and the width is 29” end to end, but there is Kraus Raptor Plate under there as well. The plate moves the bars back towards you 1.5” and up an additional 1”-1.5”. You need the plate for clearance on the ignition switch and the gauges.
