I had the cat converter removed before I took delivery.
What head pipe did you replace it with? Or did you just had it bored out?

Sure hope your no heat trouble free miles continue! I was/am hoping these changes have done two things:

1. No buffeting
2. No extreme heat

Bound to be a few that have issues, hopefully not all will.

Not to jack the thread but it looks like jaymedics jiffy stand is angled back farther than it should be. Has that changed or is he flirting with danger?

Nice garage BTW, Jay.

There was one at Pa Mountain HD Wednesday in service leaking water. The group of us there looking at the bike just had to laugh followed by a "they all do that".  :huepfenlol2:

Maybe she's about to deliver a Sporty   ;D

I had to stop to make a phone call and left the bike idle, the fans kicked on and seemed to be doing a great job of cooling.


Sitting next to my buddies honda shadow I can hear the fan when it kicks on.
How much noise do these make? Both come on at the same time?

Looks like part of HD's scary "watch my wife jump whenever I get off the bike and it rolls because of the kickstand" maneuver.

I am curious; you state that you installed Custom dynamics LED turn signals without any issues. I installed them in my 2014 and they would not work, the indicators flash like crazy, and now my security system does not work. The LED lights that you installed in the front were they the type that flash on off not dim bright? I am concerned when it comes making electrical changes with the new system.

I swapped out the front and rear lights on my '13 FXSBSE with led's and did not need to install a load equalizer. I ordered the CAN Bus kit with the Dynamic Ringz for the front. It comes with a jumper cable that has a resistor and needed to use it to ground the brake light. All went well and the lights work as advertised. I would recommend giving their tech support a call.

I added the equalizer that I received from Custom Dynamics and the rear flasher would not blink. Perhaps the two are not related but worked well on the 2012 that I removed the unit from.

Watching this thread with much interest.   Guinea Pigs do not enjoy a high standard of living... just sayin'.   And waiting for 2015/16 or whenever they get things figured out over at HD.  :-\

After a shakedown of approx 600+ miles on my new 2014 FLHTKSE, I have compiled a personal list of ‘Pros’,’ Jury Still Out’, ‘Cons’, and ‘Ugly’.  I am certain that there will be those new owners that will have different impressions and disagree with my assessment.  That’s OK, since we all have differing preferences and priorities.  My list is lengthy and will be posted in two parts.  It is a work in progress, but I wanted to get my impressions to you ASAP, and get feedback from those that may have better knowledge on these issues. 
Pros:
•   New 49mm front forks/front fork suspension/improved neck bearing - Ride quality and handling is a quantum leap, especially if you ditch the stock rear shocks in favor of the HD Premium Touring Shocks or equivalent.  This improvement alone is worth the price of admission. 
•   Boost in HP and Torque is definitely noticeable.   
•   Fairing/windshield vent - Really works!  Wind buffeting is reduced approx 30- 40% without any additional wind in the face.
•   Saddlebag/Tourpack latches.  Also, Saddlebag frame mounts much more robust and easier to remove saddlebags.
•   Tourpack capacity increased approx 5%.  Capacity would be much greater if the front and back weren’t nearly as tapered, but I’m OK with it since I like the new look.
•   Stock slip-ons have a better sound and more bark.
Jury Still Out:
Twin Cooling System – I initially had a big problem with this.  Basically, it wasn’t working, and the bike was prone to overheating and stalling. I would ride at highway speeds (55-80mph) well over an hour without stopping or slowing, then at the first stop, the engine would immediately go into EITMS mode.   After a second ECM reflash at the dealer, the system appears to be working, but the ambient temps have been cooler (low 70s) where I live since the last reflash.  I’ll have to see how it works in warmer climes.  One interesting problem that the Dealer Techs discovered was the inability to perform a ‘live’ diagnostic with the bike running.  The new diagnostic software breaks the connection when the bike is started.  This has been brought to the attention of the MoCo and they are supposedly addressing the issue.

I’ll post the ‘Cons’ and the ‘Ugly’, which, IMHO, primarily involves the significant lack of functionality with the GPS and Infotainment systems, in a subsequent message.
