Considering fuelmoto 107" conversion

I am considering having Fuelmoto install their 107 conversion on my Road Glide. I am very interested in hearing from those that have had it done, especially high mileage people. How did it affect fuel mileage, engine temperature, and any other issues. Thanks in advance.

We have clients with *our in-house machined* 107" kits(since 2007) that have north of 50,000 miles on them, that we've tracked.
No longivity issues on that bore size from what we see.

Fuel Moto wouldn't have sold and/or installed thousands of these kits to people if there were some significant problems of any kind. Go ahead and have them install one in yours. Their service and customer service are second to none.

We looked at this bore size very closely in relation to spigot wall thickness, BDC piston thrust load, etc, etc, prior to being one of the first shops in the country to lead the way in doing this.

fuel mileage will be determined by the degree of your build (same with any heat issues) we like to taylor our 107" kits to perfectly fit the owners rideing style & expectations.make sure you have FM (or whoever) do the same

I went to fuelmoto because I live in Wisconsin. If I lived out east I would have contacted Hillside.

The biggest factor I considered was tuning, many shops can build, but not as many know how to tune.
