You shouldn’t have to remove the tank. Wrap the rub with some electrical tape and loosely zip tie the wire where it’s not rubbing. You could use a piece of fuel line or something similar to protect that part of the spark plug wire if you want. I’d still recommend looking for exhaust leaks at the exhaust ports.
Very pleasantly surprised because service manual says to take the throttle body off/ drain and remove the cooling lines to access the injectors. Which I wouldn't have the confidence to do myself.
I found a fibrous thing in the rear injector (maybe a piece of filter?). Picked it out with a tooth pick. I would have expected issues with the front injector because my front 02 sensor was showing the codes.
I thought since I'm this deep into it, Might as well change the injectors. Unfortunately no one near me has any but I did find some in the States- Will have to cross the border tomorrow.

Bike of question:
2014 Ultra Limited- 37,000km -
I managed to think of a way to recreate what I'm aimlessly trying to describe via Video.
Underload - The bike maybe misfires or does something strange.
In the video, I lock throttle at 3,000rpm.
Close your eyes as your listening to it- You will notices some changes in the sounds for a split second- I can really feel this when riding.
My question is what the hell is it doing?

Also Video is attached-
The story:
Got a code of P0134 - Front Bike running rich- Changed the 02 sensor
Seemed to fix the code itself- Bike still not running quite right.
Currently:
Code : P0131 - Front 02 sensor running lean
Watch Vid
Things I have tried
-Cleaned Air Filter
-Changed Spark plugs - OEM and Gapped
-Tested Spark plug wires Resistance- Within spec
- Changed Front 02 Sensor - Had to take the whole exhaust off for access.
-Changed Fuel Filter
-Changed Fuel Regulator
I have an appointment with Harley Service to do a Fuel Pressure test-
I'm thinking to ask them for an exhaust leak test as well Incase something started to leak when the exhaust was taken off to replace the 02 Sensor.
I'll also show them my video.
My suspicions; I'm new to Harleys and wrenching:
Fuel Injectors clogged?
Exhaust leak?

that doesn't guarantee much.

I took a small shop vac and blew into the exhaust. Sprayed some soapy water on the connections of the exhaust. No leaks on the headers- But here is where I found some leaks: (Pic)
They are slightly different because my pipes are Vance & Hines Power duals but the Diagram still applies. Looking at how they are attached and V&H instructions there are no gaskets or seals on the leaky areas. Id assume it would leak a bit. -Are the supposed to be air tight? If so I'll have to have a word with my Indy and find another one.
