Installed new Extreme 64mm ported intake manifold. Damn, those bolts are hard to get to! First time I have had the new bike taken apart, other than handlebars and I don’t consider that getting into much of anything. Actually, even the bolts were not that big a deal - just need the right tools and expect a few scrapes knuckles. I much prefer pulling the tank on the new softails compared to my old 2001. A lot nicer and not having to deal with the crossover line. New manifold looks to be a nice quality piece - much lighter and nice textured finish inside, like what you get on a HPI TB/manifold. Hoping it adds some power - could not find any feedback on the SE CNC ported manifold prior to buying. Wards claims some pretty nice gains with their ported manifold.
I have some S&S 540 cams on way now. Also, probably getting some bigger injectors - looks like it has SE 5.5’s. Will get bike retuned after installing the cams.

I got around to my latest project of adding 4" pullback risers on my '21 Heritage 114. I had to replace the top clamp ( which I wish Harley made more clear in the parts list ) but like the outcome. I did have to remove the two retaining clips on the throttle and clutch cables to make the OEM lines work without pulling though. Might mean new cables down the road.

Installed some Biker's Choice 6.5" pullback risers and Arlen Ness poly riser bushings on my '22 FXLRS. I used Namz turn signal and handlebar switch extensions and moved the clutch cable outside of the triple tree.The rest of the wiring had plenty of slack. Magnum is taking forever to ship the 38" clutch cable so I can route it through the triple tree for that OEM look. Overall I'm very happy with how much more comfortable it feels. There aren't many options out there yet for risers for the '22 FXLRS since they moved the gauge to the top clamp. Hopefully Kraus will come out with something soon.

Original garage moto based out of Toronto I believe makes the top clamp, and I believe thrashin supply and la choppers do too if I'm not mistaken. Bike looks really good. Just curious as to why you didn't opt for the ST model?
