HemiOrange,
Sounds like a successful build. Don't be taken back by the price of the SE compensator. With a powerful build and ridden moderately hard the SE compensator will help prevent your crank from twisting. The other option is to have your crank welded which is more expensive than the compensator.

It wasn't just the price, but the installation that held me back. I'm a dirt biker and do all my work on those simpler machines, but I can be intimidated when working on my Harley. I guess it's the fear of the unknown...Do I have the tools? Can I make them? That sort of thing. I'm used to doing my own work, but didn't even know what a compensator was until last week.
My indy recommended it, so I guess I'll order one and figure out how to install it.

I had to think about buying a fan as I really don't need one that bad. On the other hand, we normally have at least two weeks in a row of over 100 degrees here. I just planned for the worse. I have a tendancy to overkill about everything, so forgive me for my indulgences....Makes me wonder how long my 107 will keep me happy.
I suspect my engine will run hotter than before and idling in traffic on those 100+ days just might justify spending the $75. At any rate, the fans look like they will fit, the cooler will remain in the same location without mods, and I will have a little more cushion against overheating if needed.

Hey Hemi nice build I doing 107 also I went with Hillside and did there Stg 4 heads and a woods TW8 cam. I am not sure everything you have but I would definetly do Injectors like HPI 5.3 gram if you havent done them already also def do the compensator I am doing one and a barnett clutch pack. I am doing a Fueling Oil Pump not the race one which is red just there silver high flow one I mean more oil is a good thing. The Oil cooler is a good idea.. My only other suggestion is bro the PC 3 is just not there for all the work you have going on bro I mean have you talked to your tuner and he suggests the PC 3??
Oh and getting your crank pluged and welded you dont need that kind of money could be def used elswhere..

I will do the compensator. The AIM variable pressure clutch should take care of the clutch slippage.
As for the oil pump upgrade... That is something that I haven't yet considered. Yes, I do need to keep those pressures up, especially with the added cooler and more HP.

When I bumped up my compression my Sideshots got louder, I don't like to attract the wrong attention on those late night rides so I went with the Supermeg and I'm glad I did. It only takes a couple of minutes to change the discs or open the end cap when I do feel like having it a little louder.
My Bub 2 into 1's only have about 1000 miles on them, so I was hoping for a less expensive way to tone them down. Perhaps a slip-on Supertrap? Do they make them that will fit my current system?

That would be where my money went next then.
As greenhawk mentions, a 6 pot caliber and maybe bigger disc up front will make a lot of difference.
I have to say I wouldn't worry about the rear caliber, stock is fine imo.

I went with larger injectors with the 50mm throttle body. My indy loves the PC 3, in fact he loved all of my stage I mods. He suggested a bigger air cleaner for the AN Big Sucker, so I got the Wimmer on now.

I wouldnt waste any money on the brakes bro you already have two of them I would like to get rid of the front brake love the way the wheel looks all alone... Yeah brakes your fine with stock bro..
I would really suggest a new ecm like the TTS or the SERT you will get so much tuneiblity with the other tuners and you really want that especially when you spend all that money on dyno and tuning. Have you talked to a tuner yet about that just my .o2..
What wimmer setuo did you do?

I put the Wimmer upgrade kit on the bike. It takes the AN Big Sucker stage 1 or SE stage 1 and upgrades it to a larger filter.

AIM Variable Pressure Clutch added
Okay, I've added a few things since the 107 build posting. My AIM variable pressure clutch came in last Thursday, so I installed it Friday. The weather got better on Saturday, so I took it for a spin. No more burnt clutch smell, now I have lots of clutch grab. This is good.
The Bub 7's were way too loud, so I pulled the baffles and wrapped them up in fiberglass mat and took it for another spin on Sunday. Still too loud so I ordered some quiet baffles.
My SE compensator came in yesterday (Monday), but I'll wait a while to install it, at least until the gaskets get here.
I also installed the Jagg oil cooler and also some oil cooler fans. The fans are invisible, but sound like they are moving some air. I mounted them to a manual switch at the horn.
I fabbed up a mount and installed a 50 amp marine toggle switch near my horn to override the ignition switch, while I was doing that I also mounted a toggle for the fan. I ground the nub off the ignition key, turned it to "on" and then pulled it out. Now I can just jump on the bike with the fob in my pocket, flip the toggle switch, start the bike and ride. If I want to lock the forks, use "acc" or whatever, I can still use my key.
I've been busy working on the bike since I got it back from the build, I bought so many things for it during it's absence that I've lost track of the changes that I've made.
Oh, yeah, the best part......This bike screams!!! I can't wait to break it in and get it dyno tuned. I'm using Motoman's method for break-in.
