I have a 30' x 40' garage. That is MY space. My wife knows I simply allow her to park her van in there. She only goes in or out when she comes or goes. Mine don't have a finished floor however.
Today, I almost tossed my cellphone against the wall. I use it to listen to music. It´s hooked up via bluetooth to a little Bose speaker. Anyway, the Bluetooth connection kept breaking. Every five minutes I would have to get up, reset the speaker and reconnect.:cussing
I finall got by this by hooking the phone up direct.
Got tunes! Life is goodQ
Lets see. Where were we? Oh yeah, the bike.
Anyway, this morning I took the clutch & hub over to a buddies shop to get it pressed off and the new SE clutch pressed on.
It took them all of about 5 minutes. They only had to place it in the press and Viola! it was off. If I would have known how easy it was, I would have just hit it with a rubber mallet and it would have freed up. Oh well, better safe than sorry.
I got back home and proceeded to install the clutch plates and spacers. I had it all installed on the workbench and then realized that with the S.E. pressure plate installed on the clutch, there was no center hole to bolt the clutch back on the bike.:think
I put the compensator, chain and clutch back on the bike only to realize that I couldnt tighten the clutch basket on to the bike.:whoa
I ended up taking the old pressure plate and bolted it up with some washers in order to lock the clutch up enough to torque the bolt.
The SE instructions leave a little bit to be desired. They kept referencing the service manual. And the information in the manual does not correspond with the SE particular parts.
In the end, I got everything installed and the clutch adjusted for 105 ft/lbs.
After adjusting the clutch, I can say that the pull is HARD!
I´m gonna definately have to eat my Wheaties to ride this thing.:laugh
Got all the primary side put together and all filled up:
Ya they are, I have a buddy that has toured from east to west and put over 70k on his. Hasn't had one day of down time due to anything out of the ordinary. He doesnt baby it all the time either, he is about the most throttle happy person I know and constantly tells everyone, " I spent my retirement on that HP so you gdamn right I'm going to use it" haha. From others that I have read nothing but good reviews for the most part, hope ur able to keep up the reliability but I did read that it all depends on the mech. Installing it!? Hmmmm..... Haha gl to u
"If the opposite of pro is con, then that means the opposite of progress is congress"
Today I got the injectors and throttle body mounted, installed the starter and the harness for the ACR´s.
What a PITA it waas to install the ACR harness. I had to take out and move wires around in both the fusebox and the Molex connector to the ECM.
I hate working on the electrical connectors on a Harley.:mad
The good news is that I didn´t break any wires or connectors.:nod
On the other side, I got the SE HeaVY Breather AC installed with the short filter. This is the filter that is supposed to clear the fairing lowers.
After I got the map, I still was concerned about the ACR´s being programmed or not. On my old 103, there were no ACR´s and the last time I loaded a MAP, I had to take it to HD to get them turned off with the Digital Tech.
I was hoping that wasn´t the case this time as my nearest HD dealer is a half days drive away.
I tried calling DynoJet and Fuel Moto this afternoon and couldn´t get thru on the phone to either one of them. Thats what I get for waiting until Friday afternoon.:banghead
I then figured ¨what the heck¨and sent an e-mail to DynoJet. I got an answer back within 30 minutes.:nod
Turns out, there is a newer feature on the PV that enables you to do this.:rollin
Patrick explained how to verify the software was up to date and how to activate the feature.
Tomorrow, The new V&H Pro Pipe installation. I also have to get an allen wrench to remove the old oil cooler mount to put on the new engine.
Anybody know what size allen? 3/8¨ is too small and 1/2¨ too big. I havent been able to find A 7/16¨ Allen wrench.:bluduh
Unless u can find a 7/16 allen go to hardware store and get a 7/16 head bolt. Attach 2 washers together on the tip of the bolt and use a socket or wrench to tighten or loosen. Use the bolt head as the allen
Well Boys and Girls, today was pretty much a wash.
I did manage to find a 7/16 allen socket so the oil filter boss will be taken care of.
Swepped and mopped the garage floor.
Played around with putting the heat shields on the V&H Pro Pipe.
Then, went over to a Buds house to help him work on his BMW.:laugh
Oh yeah. Did I remember to mention that my Bud not only took advantage of my torque wrench but made me bring the beer.:laugh
Tomorrow I'm riding.
Stay tuned till Monday...:laugh

Well I got it running today.
Flashed the new map and activated the ACR's with the Power Vision.
It sounds really sweet! The new V&H pipe rocks!
Started it up in the garage and heat cycled the engine a couple of times.
Ventured out from the house and rode around the neighborhood a little.
The SE Race Clutch and HD compensator is the schitz! Step on the shifter and it goes in gear. No clunking whatsoever.
It did quit a couple of times when I was riding it. Got back to the garage and checked the codes. It's showing a MAP sensor code.
Anybody got any ideas?
I'm thinking the air velocity through the manifold is out of the sensor parameters or the parameters the ECM reads from the sensor.
Also check the connector at the sensor.
