Reading your post just reminded me of something I found out. I was running an S&S 110 with the "G" carb then I changed it over to the 51mm CV carb which improved things but still had similar problems as you described. At this point I put in the 127 which I had problems with so in order to keep riding I put the 110 back in (nice to have a spare engine). In the mean time I had gotten some of the S&S Intake seals as I had been using the Harley ones, the S&S are slightly thinner and a lot harder. I also installed the Ultima ignition from the 127. All I can say is what an improvement, it's much smoother starts and idles better and no flat spot at mid RPM cruising like before. I suspect I was fighting a vacuum leak as the intake seals I took out were always damaged. The Ultima ignition also worked wonders with the idle and starting as it runs a lot less advance. If the 110 had run like this before I would probably have never bought the 127.
The only other V107T owner I know has the stock ignition system and doesn't have the vibration patch I have. What is frustrating is that there are occasions when mine doesn't do it and I wonder if it is cured! One day....
Can't see the new camera in your shots, but the bike looks great.
Are you hiding its real displacement - and could you call by and clean mine like that?!

My 107 has automatic compression releases, as well as various engine sensors, like knock etc. When fitting the Ultima module how did you deal with those sort of things?
Unfortunately cash is tight at present, but I can still sort out what improvements to make when funds are available.
Thanks for your input.

Update
Hello all fellow ultima and bagger riders. I have had one hell of a hectic and crazy summer between moving, military, and new job. That left little time for riding. When I picked my bike up from the guys that installed the motor, the electric was not working. The volts were down at 11. Tried replacing the reg as this was the cheapest and easiest fix. Nothing. It is a new battery so I knew it wasn't that. I didn't want to admit it could be the stator. Well, a bud got me the compu-fire 40 amp set up at cost and I tore the bike apart to put that in. The bike was a little noisy before, but I wrote that off to the lifters like all say. When I took the primary cover off, I was in for a surprise. The primary chain was chewing into the inner primary. The f'n moron didn't put the spacers in the bike after the rotor, thus the chain was digging into the primary and metal chunks were getting into the everything. What a mess! Many $ and hours later, I have it back together. I am now putting out 14 volts and the bike is much quieter. Still louder than and Evo, but hey, it is bigger than an Evo. My next problem is getting the cruise working on this thing. I have an email out to Mia for any advice on this one. With any luck, I will get the 500 miles in on this engine to get it in for a dyno jetting before it gets to cold up here in WI. Hope all has had a safe riding season thus far. Safe riding for all, and make some noise at your local tea parties whenever you get a chance. Let's take our country back!
