Install wasn’t ‘too’ bad. Fairly straight forward. A few things that made me want to blow a fuse:
1. Removing the slip-ons. Specifically the rear. What the **** Harley…..those might have been slip-ons at one point, but they’re definitely not ‘slip-offs’. Probably an hour of hammering of an aluminum bung on the bottom to break it free….. The 2nd slip-on wasn’t nearly as bad, but it appeared not to be a slip-off as well.
2. “The Bolt”. The bolt that attached the new ignition relocation bracket to the inside / rear of the primary. This literally, took me 2-3 hours. Having the bolt repeatedly fall onto the primary when trying to start threading it on other side through the rear cylinder. Only to find out, that it’s damn near impossible to retrieve. Retrieved a few times, but ultimately my lovely wife ended up helping by lending her tiny hands/fingers to grab it and get the thread started. Holy shit it was a pain in the ass.
3. Feel like someone beat on the top of my legs with a baseball bat from sitting down, and standing up probably 1000 times. I could barely walk this morning lo. YAY! For being out of shape.
Reattached all the wiring harnesses, put the main fuse back in place, and it fired right up on the first turn of the motor. Score!

….not so fast my friend (as Lee Corso would say). Now it is idling very fast. I pulled the problem code from the speedometer in troubleshooting mode. “P0505” – Loss of Idle Speed Control. Joy. Removed air cleaner and backing plate so only the throttle body was exposed. Fired it up – same thing. Apparently there is a way to reset the ECM with a certain pattern of turning the ignition on/off, but I haven’t tried it yet. Other than that, I can only thing of a vacuum issue that’s throwing the code. I do have XiED fuel enrichment / O2 Sensor by-pass I can install, but I don’t think that impacts it since I wasn’t getting any Lean fuel / O2 issue codes.

Despite the issue – the new air cleaner really sucks in the air ( you can hear it), and the new pipes sound awesome. I definitely won’t be sneaking up on anyway. Nice deep rumble. Sounds like a Harley now that all the factory/EPA restrictive shit is gone. It also ‘feels’ like a Harley when sitting on it.
