Look fantastic, the gentleman, said it right up top, I know its hard, but do it as per manual, I just had a 107 build, first 50 NP, did that riding away, brought home, put on lift dropped oil, DONT USE SYNTHETIC, WELL NOT FOR ME I DONT know these new Milwaukee mills, altho I intend to real soon!!!!
https://lucasoil.com/products/engine...e-break-in-oil
I used this for first oil change 50 miles, this was in on first start up!, told you I'm ****...than I have a case of amsoil...
...anyhow, the standard oil is to help set the rings in pistons into cylinder walls, , theres a a lot of way to break in, depends what you want, a bike like that, id take my time, mines lighter and I did a box job and cylinder word, etc, motor had 1900 miles already on her, but I heat cycled 3 times to 150, than COMPLETELY COOLED...After that brought to 150 took for a light ride, cooled off, than I brought again to 150, did some 0-60 pulls not insane, but I wanted to"set" the rings

Think of a street bike, you buy it, and rip off the lot!!!, whats the difference?

well, after dumping oil, there was a lil metal chards, to be expected, but than I did 10....0-60 pulls fast, set them rings, ever since than, I ride normal, NO LUGGING OF MOTOR, IM AT 290, AND LEMME say this, she's a damm beast....so take that how you want, but I have limited at 4k and I pull on dyne's with stock 110's screaming eagles, that DIDNT HAPPEN before, soon I'm going to let the dog outta the cage, iim a lil **** tho, I'm going on 3rd oil change, and I did use a Lucas engine break in oil, I SWEAR by that stuff, engine ran cooler, and it does something to help set rings, has a metal effect with oil, and motor, have to check it out, BEAUTIFUL bike enjoy, I myself hope next year they pull the CVO out the bag,im a patient guy!

I do know for a fact these pipes there selling aren't doing crap so beware....go to rb racing pipes. he has a whole write up why they don't work, and there selling them, he's still waiting, altho it seems he has many sets on many m8's so I TRUST THIS GUY, he's so passionate, about what he does, its stupid not to, I haven't seen another pipe/exhaust manufacture, put as much, or even a darn PAGE of info, that he has, custom built, etc etc...check him out if you don't already know, till than my only advice would be WAIT ON A EXAUST, AND LUCAS BREAK IN OIL, just a 1/4 quart first 2 oil changes is all you need....my motors a BEAST!

Awesome looking ride. You did good. As for mods, I have the SE street tuner, ventilator high flow, torque cam kit and, S&S EPA/Harley approved exhaust on both my FLHXS and the FLHTCUTG. Stage II Boom Box and amplifier too. Awesome sound at 80/90 mph.

Nice bike love to color! Just picked up my new bike last week, traded in my '16 RGU. I'm on the fence with any mods at the moment, don't know if SE slip ons are worth the money.
