So do I have an old catalog or does the 117 kit fit only the 2014 and newer Twin Cams? Other than cooling options I can't see why this kit wouldn't fit my 2011 Ultra. I cringe at putting more sauce to the stock flywheels so still thinking S&S 124 kit or maybe their crate HC mill. Unless things have changed since the M8 came out I'm thinking we still need to drill for oil lines when using the S&S crate engines.

ESP expires next June and I sure would like to have the lifters changed out but every dime spent going that route could be factored into building the engine the right way. Harley sure made out on my buying the ESP. Didn't expect to still be working overseas and haven't put more than 60 miles on this bike since 2014. Now the 2015 Road Glide Special, I ride the heck out of it when I can. A whopping 3000 miles in 2 years...how can I rack up so many miles???  ;D  :'( Yeah, it sucks but still dreaming about a powerhouse ride.

Should drop right in on your 2011 110. Used it on my 09 with no issues

So, if I wanted to upgrade my 2013 SEUC8 to a 117, this kit would do the trick?

Mine finished today and did 135/133. Not the HD kit, but used suburban speed cylinders/pistons with 6.6cc dome.

You will see numbers anywhere from 110 to 130 hp and anywhere from 120 to 135 tq. All depends on the dyno and how picky they were on the build. The lower numbers are just bolting the kit on and the upper numbers are 0 decked and head work. Exhaust plays a big role in those numbers as well

What he said although I think the heads play a bigger part  (headwork) roughly 10% on the increase if the rest is done right and more depending on how high you go on compression.

IMO, the biggest difference will be between a canned HD map, or a REAL tune by a tuner on the dyno.
(or on the road)
Look at the SE advertised power compared to tuned engines, same parts but the tune.
It can easily differ 10+ hp.

Remember the SE map is smog legal.

Cyclerama 630i. Looks like the tuner just posted my sheet in this forum.

Installed my 117 kit in my 11SEUC last June  13 K later Front Cylinder Intake lifter went south ( shoulda upgraded to the S& S when I put it in)  While thoroughly cleaning, I pulled heads, cylinders and cams  Going to Tman 625 with Tman 117 Pistons and had heads ported.     Cylinders were visually ugly ( scuffed and scratched but measured out ok by my head guy.  Going to beehives as well hoping to reduce some valvetrain wear and noise

What did the pistons look like? Any coating left?
