Default Fuel Moto Stuff

Seems as if Fuel Moto has pretty good reviews and pricing on products.
If I was going to void my warranty on my new 2018 Heritage, I would probably go with a big bore kit from them vs the HD stage stuff.
So my decision would be: Fuel Moto and lose my 4 year warranty.
HD and go broke and keep warranty.
Until then, the stock bike works great.

I wouldn't touch a SE big bore stage kit with somebody else's 10 foot pole right now, just sounds too risky
you'd get a prorated refund on the ESP

Yeah, Fuel Moto has a good reputation and customer support is great. I ordered a 2into1 and need to upgrade my Power Vision to my current bike. If you have a PC (no Mac's) you can get a new tune thru E-mail. This way above my pay grade so I sent the PV back to them. So they made it easy for me! I don't know about similar companies, but FM is good to go!

I keep going back and forth between the 117 and 120 kits. Longevity is my first concern. My big bike is a phenomenal touring bike, now. My little bike needs better lungs.

Fuel Moto is the way to go....great reputation and service as others have said.

think about this....
- stock 107 M8 (98 TQ, 80 HP)
- stock CVO 117 (110 TQ, 93 HP)
- a stage 2 upgrade from FM (Woods WM8-22X cam) on a 107 M8 (116TQ, 108HP)

My plan is to wait for my 2 year warranty to expire (June 2019) and ride my bike to FM so they can do a stage 2 with tune.

All true but still NO stage kits of any relevance for the M8 114 engine. It's either 107/117.

Fuel moto gets my money. No Screaming tweedy birds for me. Just wish they had a shop in the south somewhere closer to the home front. Thank goodness for mail.

not entirely correct, Art. Go to FM’s website. They have charts for 107-124 M8 bikes.

I'm about to buy the following from FuelMoto. All because of the great support they've given me in deciding on my Stage I/II and the review from others.

Jackpot Ceramic Head Pipe
S&S Grand National Mufflers
PowerVision Tuner
Woods WM8-22X Cam Kit w/Lifters and Adjustable Pushrods
S&S Oil Pump and Cam Plate (once back in stock)
