Welcome.  I had that same bike for several years.  Great bike and one of the very best paint jobs imo.  Here's a pic from the day we picked it up in Nov. 2011.

Heli Coil should do it.

No, i did check into that route.  With  Heli Coil you have to cut away to much material. The H C wall is .097"   the T S  insert wall is .061" .
Overall cut on a .462" plug hole with H C is .575" thats a lot of material on a plug hole cut away
 With the T S  Overall cut is .512"  plus the TS is a 1.25 thead

There's not a lot between the plug hole and the valves to play with.

Finally picked up a 2012 CVO in Electric Orange after searching for a while. Figured I should join the group!

I am also looking for an FXR4...

Thanks for all the info.  :2vrolijk_21:

This is a first for me. I've pulled wrenches all my life and this is my first plug hole repair I've ever had to do. So im a greenhorn at this.

The Time Sert Kit looks like the way forward but at 200 + a kit  for one hole and never use kit again  i can't justify the cost.

Alternative, 

I contacted Alex he overhauls Harley-davidson heads and he's going to help me out. I've already removed the head and I'll take it to him in the next day or two.
BTW. Alex uses Time Sert on his repairs.

I'll post a photo outcome.

I don't like that first kit as well as the second one with the solid inserts.  The time-serts are a solid piece of steel as opposed to a coil.  I used them to repair head bolt holes that had stripped out of aluminum blocks.  They are quite strong and much more reliable for something like a sparkplug hole where the plugs will be removed and reinstalled.
I haven't done a repair for many years but will use Time-serts next time around. They seem to be a cleaner and more robust repair. Thanks for sharing.
