Default Must Be Nice!!

I saw a post on Facebook from Fuel Moto about them installing a 113 kit on someones new 2015 CVO Street Glide.

So the owner started at 110 and went up a whole 3 cubic inches to 113.

I guess if you can afford a $35,000+ bike, what's another few thousand for 3 extra cubes......

Yes, I'm jealous!!!!!

Here's the write up;

Mike G brought us his brand new 2015 CVO Street Glide for some Fuel Moto power and we picked up 47Hp/28Tq, yes that's an increase of over 50% in horsepower! We installed a Fuel Moto 113" big bore kit, Ward CNC heads, Wood TW-999 cams, Jackpot XXX head pipe, SE 58mm TB, AIM lockup clutch, and dyno tuned it with Dynojet Power Vision. Thank you for choosing Fuel Moto!

His bike, his money. Good for him. Maybe they went with 113 for real-world riding eliability? Can't argue with the hp/tq increases. Nice.

the 3" are incidental to all the other work.

so maybe worth 2 of the 47 HP he picked up

Not jealous in the least. Good for that guy. Fuel Moto did all the work. I do all my own work except the dyno tune. If I was jealous of every idiot that goes out and finances a new truck or bike I wouldn't have time for anything else. If that guy is financially solvent enough to pay cash for that bike and the work done to it, good on him. I've got other things to worry about.

I have no problem saying I'm jealous, but at the same time I'm happy for the guy. Had I made better life choices I would be in his shoes. My fault.

That said, I won't deny feeling like, man... that sure would be nice to have those options!

My day is coming. Just a matter of time! I'm super lucky to have what I have.

Funny how people have nothing better to do than criticize other people's choices. It is his money and his bike. I bet he can tell a difference with those 47 extra horses. Good for him and good for Fuel Moto.

I have the 107 in my bike and no matter what new bike I got, I would have Jamie do the engine. Once you have it done, you won't want to be without it.

I would assume that the customer wanted to up the compression so new pistons were needed so why not go up in size, same cost. As far as having engine work done on a brand new bike, why not!!!! Why wait till he is tired of it to get some power upgrades. Those that criticize must leave their bikes STONE stock right? And I mean stone stock , no changes whatsoever. Yeah thats what I thought.......................
