I purchased a 2006 Ultra CVO with 42,775 showing last week. Discovered it was owned by a HOG chapter member a city away and found service records at that dealership. Here was my shocking find clocked when the odo read 7,000 miles in 2007:

"TECH REPORTS VALVE SEAL LEAK:
CONDITION DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE HEAT TO REAR CYL/PISTON DUE TO IMPROPER FUEL TUNING & DUAL EXHAUST CONFIGURATION. TECH RECONDITIONED TOP END. REPLACED PISTONS, RINGS, CYLINDERS AND ALL GASKETS. RECALIBRATED ECM TO STOCK CVO DOWNLOAD (P/N 32876-06D). INSTALLED STOCK EXHAUST SYSTEM."

I havn't spoken to the previous owner yet as this was a trade in and thats how I purchased it. I have no idea who tried doing the tuning to begin with and what kind of pipes were on it. I can onl assume at this point.
Does anyone have a similar experience with poor tuning on these fuelies?

I bought my used and it had after market Rush slip ons on it and had a heat problem on the right side pipe. The pipe was gold in color and when I asked about it the dealership said it must be running too lean. I changed to V&H ovals and had it dynoed again. It seems not to be running as hot as before and due to the double walled pipes no discoloration?

I'd be happy knowing the repairs were made.
