I can't imagine just how different the bike will feel. Thx for the info and the congrats !!!! and yes

Wicked pissah awesome!!!

 

Is "Satchmo" because you play a trumpet by any chance, like Louis Armstrong?

You are going to be grinnng ear to ear when you get the upgrade done. The first 1K miles are cool, but the bike keeps getting better over the next 3K and is fully brocken in after that 2nd oil change.

It's cold blooded for the first 10 minutes of run time I think. I just take it easy on the throttle for a little bit even after I let it warm up in the driveway.

 

Got back home late last night w/ the bike (in the back of the pick-up). we slept in this morning and went out for lunch..... anyway...

Put 60 miles on it this afternoon... anyway...

IT'S A WHOLE NEW BIKE!!!

The boys at Fuel Moto built me a fine ride.

see my numbers and build here: Who's this guy standing by my bike???

and, why, YES! those R bugs... ride it or wash it? Ride It!

 

Oldhippie...Satchmo is from 'SATCH" in The Bowery Boys...I was a tall thin kid and we use to watch the series..Even though that was the early 60's so really not my time but my friends would call me "Satch" then it just became Satchmo

 

WOW you got a nice build out of that! Hold on tight when you pull the trigger. That baby is going to run like a rocket!

...and can you beat the team and service you get from Jaime and his posse?!
I felt like I was on a different planet! LOL! Well, considering where I live, I almost was.

 

Yeah, I rememer that show. I gotta go watch it again. I bet I can pull it up with On Demand or something.

Looking forward to hearing about your build.

 

I'm real happy with the way it turned out... Good guys to work with, too.

When I was at the front counter' going over the final numbers, Bob said that it was about the worst night to do a dyno tune because the humidity was crazy high... He said if it would have been done back in feb, my numbers would have really been through the roof!

I didn't decide to do the TB until I dropped the bike off... But, since I was already there, I did it because I didn't want to leave any hp or torque behind (LOL).
I'm glad I did because 115 and 125 are the numbers I was really wanting to hit!

Now I gotta get some miles on it before we go to Sturgis!

 

oldhippie you could find them on tv somewhere...

ebigfish, those are exactly the numbers I'm looking for....I can't wait to roll on the throttle....be safe on that trip...Love it out west and were heading to the Keys a few weeks after my build so hope all goes well but not expecting any probs at all with my bike...PUMPPED !!!!!!

 

...you realize thise are crazy numbers out of a 107 build that isn't a $10K SS engine?! Right! LOL!!

Not only that, if it's anything like mine you can ride it all day like a stocker!

Enjoy!!!

 

Don't worry, you're bike will be Kick-*** for Key West!
