2010 H-D Touring O2 Sensor Relocation Upgrade

Nightrider has been working on an upgrade for the 2010 Harley Touring bike to allow the use of the OEM 2010 peanut sensor in older, standard size O2 sensor bungs. This kit would effectively allow a rider to relocate the OEM 2010 narrow band O2 sensors using any 2009 or earlier exhaust system that will fit on your Touring bike. I know there is interest in using older style exhaust systems on the 2010 Touring bikes and relocating the O2 sensors on these bikes. This upgrade kit would allow that to happen.

Harley-Davidson Cams Listing

Selecting cams for a performance project on your Harley-Davidson engine can be a quite a task. Trying to figure out which Manufacturer and which cam to use just gets more confusing. Looking for those subtle differences between different cams can be almost impossible unless you can see the specifications side by side. Here is an opportunity to compare the specs of those cams.

Buell VIED Testing Update 28-Aug-2009

I have some test results on the Buell VIED on bikes with the DDFI-3. This covers the 2008-2009 X-series Buell's. The testing was performed by a H-D mechanic in a Dealership in Canada. This was a comprehensive test, providing slightly different results than early model bikes with the DDFI-2. Listed below is his e-mail message back to me:

2009 Touring Bike update Aug-27-2009

For a while it looke like late 2009 production Touring models might be able to use the XiED's. I started a new test period to validate this possibility. After additional testing, I found that these late manufacter bikes were not able to use the Inline Enrichment Devices with any more consistency of results than the earlier 2009 Touring bikes. But during this same time, a lot of new information has been discovered. For 2009 Touring bike Riders, what was discovered is a combination of good and bad news.
 

Possible 09 H-D Touring Bike Wiring Harness Issues

Some Technical people I trust reported a potential wiring and ECM connector problem on the late model Harley-Davidson Touring bikes through other channels. This issues is something that others have probably found on some of TC96/103/110 Touring bikes. These wiring problems can cause Check Engine lights to occur and possible engine running issues.

While any unconfirmed report like this should be treated cautiously by any rider, there is strong circumstantial evidence to support this information. There were reports within 72 hours of additional 12-14 2009 and possbily two 2010 Touring bikes exhibiting the symptoms described in this article.

2010 XIED Availability

The 2010 Dyna, Softail and Sportsters use the current XiED's. These bikes use the same XiED, X14iED, ViED and AFXiED's as the 2007,2008,2009 motorcycles. The various Inline Enrichment Devices provide closed loop fuel mixture richening for the 2010 Harley-Davidsion's to bring the AFR from the OEM 14.6:1 to as rich as 13.7:1, depending upon the product.

XIED on 2009 Touring Bikes Update

There are multiple reports of XIED's being used on late manufacture date 2009 Touring Bikes without any of the issues encountered when the bikes first came out. Here is what we have learned.

Buell XIED Being Designed

Nightrider is in the process of updating our XiED design for the XB9, XB12, 1125R and 1125CR Buell bikes. The XiED inline enrichment devices for the Buell's will provide closed loop AFR enrichment capabilities for Riders without having to alter the ECM programming.

2010 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles ?

Thought I'd do a little speculation on what the 2010 bikes might look like and provide a little reasoning.

Touring Bikes - Why would HD spend all that time redesigning the chassis? They needed something for the torque the new water cooled engines are going to produce.
FLH - Remains with the TC air cooled engines at least for 2010
