15. ...so all Jon had to do was remove the seat and the Fi2000 sits atop the stock ECM with plenty of room. A small piece of double-sided tape was used to mount the unit. The rear of the gas tank was lifted up off the frame a bit to allow the injector wires to be routed to the throttle body.

  • 17. Finally the PowrFlo Air Intake System was added. You can see from this cut-away photo how the PowrFlo is more than just style but designed for improved airflow and performance. The air filter allows more air than a stock filter and also has a built-in venturi to help force more air.

  • 21. Lastly the saddlebags were installed back on the bike along with the seat. We fired up the bike and checked for any exhaust or intake leaks. The bike was removed from the lift and we headed out on a testride so the Fi2000 could tune itself. In just a few blocks we could feel a difference in how well the bike accelerated. We headed back to the shop so we could run the bike on the dyno.

  • 23 After three runs, the ’10 Road Glide pulled 78.1 hp and 89.7 lb-ft of torque. These are solid gains of 10 hp and almost 12 lb-ft of torque for what was a bolt-on system without any tune time. By just riding the bike it was tuned and ready for the road.
