Well our test mule is now as broke in as it's going to get, just short of 1700 miles on it. It should go up on the dyno tomorrow or Monday at the latest and let the fun begin. Will post baseline dyno runs as soon as I have them. Then we can begin to see what's what on these new engine combinations.

Is she bone stock?

Right now it's as it rolled out of the dealership. The exhaust will be removed so we can add instrumentation to it then reinstalled and then baseline dyno work will start. The Only way to really know what's going on is to properly instrument the bike to start with. This way there is no surprises further down the road in testing. We put it out on the road to get miles on it and now at ~1700 miles it will be what it will be. I hope to have the instrumentation done by the end of the day so we can be getting baselines on Monday

Totally stock 2014 103 limited, then we will tune it up stock to see what we get, then exhaust, air Cleaner and cams will be getting added in stages so we can develop tuneups and see what works for it. Not looking to pull the heads just yet but I'm sure it will happen further down the road.

Will the new CAN bus make ya do anything different from the previous years ways?  Heard or read? that only the HD techs will be able to do anything with the ECM???

That would be the first time...if it ever happens.
There are quite a few, some on forums, who profess to bust virtually any code put in front of them.

CAN buss has been around in the HD world since 2011 and the new ECM for 2014 Touring models still has to work on that buss same as before. We've been programming those CAN buss units all along and the 2014 just needs to get done and fully checked out before we release an update for it. The first update we release will be for 2014 Softail, Dyna and Vrod. It should be followed shortly there after with calibrations that will allow it to work with the Touring and XL models. As for programming 2014's already have that in test here and working out any bugs that we find as we find them just the same as any other time they release new models.

Which is just why we wanted to get at least 1000 miles on our In House Test Mule. It's already been back to the dealership for the 1000 miles service so it at least has a chance of staying together, I hope. You think if we had a failure and returned it with probes coming out of the exhaust, air cleaner housing and oil pan they might question what are you doing to it?

Waterhead is too lame, how about Wethead

You could just tell 'em "they all do that"

Hurry up and go patent that before HD does!
