Very true.. I was generically tossing the term Harley Kit where I shouldn't have.. heads and cams were harley.

Unfortunately I am also too hard on Thier stuff even though I would love to see them succeed.

Is it maybe a tuning issue??

Not a tuning issue he did my buddy's 107 with se CNC heads and 777 cans and got 110/130 and he does a good job. He thinks it has something to do with when I had my other **** cut up Pistons in there it made it so hot it ****ed up the crank plates and caused some issues there resulting in lack of power. He also told me that on average he has to let a bike cool down twice on the dyno and mine got too hot 4 times

It runs decent but not as fast as I had hoped bc of my riding partners bike is so damn fast! I think a lot of my problems came from the lack of knowledge and carelessness of the builder who built it before I bought it. I bought it just a few miles after the 103 was in and I think it it would have been done right, my 107 would have better numbers
