Default Aftermarket FXR frames

Now that the Milwaukee 8 engine has been out a while, more and more performance parts are becoming available, now including frames.

There's a company at baggernation.com Paul Yaffe, that is apparently making a soup to nuts FXR frame kit to fit the M8.

Here's the brutal question...is the FXR frame really better than today's frame? Or is the FXR frame more hype and myth than reality? I see that there are more than a couple of big name companies that are making FXR frames, Big Bear Chopper, Chopper Guys, Paughco and I don't know who else are making FXR frames or close enough copies, not for the M8, at least not yet.

Say you had a built M8 engined bike that was out of warranty...do you think the FXR frame is truly an upgrade to say it's existing Road King frame?
