The ones I was referring too was on leftover '16 CVOs. They'd toss in the 117 upgrade if you paid MSRP.
Easy for them to give up a 2k kit to still make 5k profit at MSRP  :huepfenjump3:

Harley dealers are offering a "free 117 kit" with the purchase of a "new" 2016 CVO

If Harley is going to offer the 117 kit on 16 cvo's for free what are they going to use for a tuner? I am led to believe the dealers can no longer sell the super tuners and when I purchased my pro street they told me the super tuner was the only one that would work for the 117. Unless they offer a dealer download for it now.

The kit requires a street legal and emission compliant calibration for any of the listed bikes, including a 2016 Pro Street Breakout.  Harley provides that calibration either as a dealer download or as one of the calibrations that can be installed with the new Street Tuner.  They don't need the racing only SEPST to load that calibration file. 

In typical fashion Harley has labeled the street legal tuning system the Screamin' Eagle Pro Street Tuner (SEPST again), so people will be confused and possibly believe they are still getting the racing product (Screamin' Eagle Pro Super Tuner).  They aren't.  The Street Tuner is used to load the street legal emission compliant calibrations Harley provides to match their various street legal kits.  It cannot alter settings in the areas that affect emission law compliance (closed loop operation), but does allow some adjustability in the open loop operating range.

 ;D    Now it really would be news if they were to go back to gear drive for the new single cam engine.  They never will of course, because it requires much tighter tolerances than what Harley has been doing for the past decade.  If done right, gear drives are much more accurate than chain and can be every bit as quiet.  If done wrong, with too much runout on the crank, they can be very loud and irritating.  Belt drive is of course another option (see S&S X-Wedge engine for an example).

Gear drive in the new option would require reverse grinding the cam wouldn't it?

Dang, that would make it almost as good as a EVO wouldn't it.  :P

FYI,

Steve Cole just posted the testing results on the M8 107 & 114 in the TTS section. Numbers look pretty impressive.

Someone in our Hog Owners Group just had his new CVO seize at 350 miles. He complained that his oil light stayed on all the time, but the dealer blew him off saying "the engine is just running tight".   :'(
