I am out of ideas
So I have a 2001, fuel injected fatboy. At first, this issue was every once in a while but now it seems to be happening every time I ride.
1. It gets really hot, really fast.
2. As long as I am rolling, it is fine but as soon as I stop, it begins to idle really fast.
3. While it is idling fast, if I even TOUCH the throttle, it dies.
BTW, I have a D&M intake on it and V&H longshots. Did have a PCM but the stealership fried it somehow so I do not have a map on it. Let me know what you think.
Oh! and it never has any fault codes.

2001 Fatboys were carbed. FI didn't come out until I think 2006. So, if so, aftermarket. Aftermarket FI = need some sort of fuel management. I wouldn't run it one more minute without getting this looked at... hopefully you didn't damage your engine.
And if the dealership fried my PCM, the dealership would be buying me a new PCM.

Fatboy had the option beginning in 2001. Like I said, as long as I am rolling it runs fine. It only acts up when I stop.

Not sure if my fix will work for your bike, but it sounds like it might. I bypassed some other reasons this might be happening and installed a new Throttle Position Sensor. I did this just the other day. I rode the bike yesterday for a couple of hours and the problem seems to be solved. No engine light and perfect idle. The Throttle Position Sensor is only a $31 part and other than the back bolt, that's a little tricky to get out, it's pretty easy to replace.
As far as your bike not having fault codes, another guy on here didn't either, but it was the same fix for his bike. For $31, and about an hour of your time, it may be worth a shot.
If you're going to do this and want to know how I got that back bolt out let me know and I'll walk you through it. Do you have a service manual? Make sure you disconnect your battery before you install it.

EDIT: Your bike is running lean, causing heat, because you have a full aftermarket exhaust, and no map. But I don't think that's the cause of the idle surges. Not 100% on that though.
