to set the record straight here. I never said I was going to bring my own parts. I never said I wouldn't by the parts from the local guy. What I did ask was if anyone knows a reputable shop that can install a Fuel Moto kit. Wouldn't that imply that I want a shop that is comfortable working with Fuel Moto parts? I would think it does. I've decided I want the Fuel Moto solution for my own reasons, I want to know if anyone local works with Fuel Moto parts and yes, I've already reached out to Fuel Moto for a referral but they don't have a shop they recommend here. That doesn't mean there isn't a quality shop here that works with Fuel Moto parts, it just means that Fuel Moto doesn't have a formal relationship with a local shop here. I'm sure there are more than one local quality shops around here. If I can find one that works with Fuel Moto parts, I'm all set. I've thought about shipping my bike out to Fuel Moto in WI then flying out to get it and ride it back. Maybe coordinate the timeline with Sturgis next year and come back through there.

Most shops will NOT install others parts due to warranty claims.
Plus, there is a LOT of shops that do WAY better than some Rev Perf cylinders with Dlekron heads FM sells. You COULD get in the way of that bit of profit from FM, save money, and have a complete job with a tune.
But... I am a troll. I'm quite happy I did not tell you a very very good shop up there.

Happy to offer assistance.
I have a local shop in Maple Valley that is a tuner and installer that can do a turn key installation for you.
My business is a professional endeavor and I don't appreciate any low shots about being part time.
I take the work, results, and warranty issues if they arise very seriously.
Part time can be an advantage and is my choice. I do all the work, no employees to screw things up and I have no "flat rate" to beat. I work each set of heads as if they were my own.
The results posted elsewhere on this site, on my site, and on other sites speak for themselves.
Since when was a work ethic working hard and even taking an occasional vacation an issue?
Scott, There is enough work for everyone, no need to be this aggressive.

No low shots, or aggressiveness whatsoever, simply stating that you do not earn your living, like us,(for over 30 years now btw) doing this type of work, day after week, after month.
Where are you employed full time, anyway??

Decided to go to Urban Custom Bikes in Fife for the 107" upgrade. Got it completed, 1000 miles on the engine, dyno tuned today and I ended up with 108.99 max HP and 121.14 max Torque.
Seat of the pants results are fantastic! Just what I was looking for.
