I have replaced a couple of the 63628-00 elbow hoses due to dry cracking, but those were on 15-20 year old bikes.

My 2013 Softail Deluxe has developed an oil leak. After much crawling around, looking up and feeling around I believe I have found it. It looks like the leak is coming from where the oil drain line attaches to the oil bag, either from a shot clamp or the fitting itself. The entire drain line from the oil bag down is wet with oil which is slowly dripping off the frame. I checked the drain plug and it is not leaking nor is it wet with oil due to the protective metal circle around the plug.
Now, has anyone experienced a (welding) crack where the nipple for the drain line comes out of the oil bag?? (Or a problem with the drain line at the  oil bag?) I pray that a welding crack is not the problem and that the problem is with the drain line itself. Let me know what you think or have experienced please.

It's a natural anti knock.  Besides requiring more which adds in cooling.  Has better latent heat properties over gasoline.  This all equates to less limitation on how much timing can be run, and better thermal management.

IIRC You decided a Vision.  Sheffer's would definitely be on my short list of tuners. He has plenty of experience tuning it with vision.  Runs it in his own race bike.

Actually I've changed a few things. I reverted the primary gearing back to stock 34 x 46. So a TTS is what I'll be going to again. I also sold my Grudge Box and will be using  cruise drive that Andy Simon reworked for me. I want to replace the black dongle with a current TTS dongle.

Super tuner is more than capable of handling what you are doing and more.

I promise, no "what is the best ... for my engine upgrade post."   Simple question for anyone with tuner experience.  My 2013 Deluxe currently has a stock 103 with a stage 1 flash upgrade.  The prior owner also had an SE Super Tuner installed back in the day as part of the Stage 1 upgrade.  I am looking at changing the cam to something with a little more top end/torque and my question concerns the Super Tuner.  I understand that the Super Tuner is obsolete and not supported by HD any longer.  My question is whether an upgraded cam will require an upgraded tuner, if it can be left alone or just have it removed? My guess is a new tuner of some sort is in my future.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think this would be a good oil to use, Motul 10W50 108586 300V2 Racing 4T Engine Oil

I figure injector size for pump gas and figure about a third more for corn. 

There is really no special tuning requirements as for as ION. Still works and if target is set up correct.  Not much is real different on your AFR target and lambda target is straight forward. 

Pump corn is inconsistent of how much is actual corn compared to gasoline.  I like e90 from a barrel better. 

I know guys that have been running it for years.  Never a problem with other EFI components. 

When sourcing injectors.  A lot are on the market that will fit and spray fuel.  Most are corn rated.  But with different dead times and the need to use more fuel.  You can chase your tail with auto tune programs.  I really have had the best luck with and recommend sizing your injectors through Injector Dynamics. 

Good info Jason, thanks. My compression is 12.60:1, this motor will have the heads that Jim built for me. I guess the main interest is getting a little more HP from the E85. If it's really no more different than how you use gasoline, that helps make my decision. Hearing that others are using it with OEM pump, etc. is good to hear.

I would like to stay away from buying barrel fuel. I understand that it's more consistent, it's just storing it that concerns me a little. As the hassle of making sure I have some.
