We need the bike for just over a day to complete the 107 kit, break in, and tune. If the bike comes in at 9:00 we do a baseline dyno test, cool the bike, and go straight to the build. By the afternoon Jim has everything together and has heat cycled the motor several times, by 5:00 it is ready for me to do the dyno break in and full tune. In the morning we wrap everything up by double checking the cold start and warmup areas of the tune, checking fluids, fasteners, etc.. street test it and the bike is generally ready to go by 10:00. Yesterday we did a 107 build for a customer from Florida including heads that rolled out of here this morning, and a customer from Ohio was waiting here to drop off his bike of a 107 kit as well. They actually met at the hotel.

Thanks Jamie. I'm seriously looking at doing this, altho it would probably be in the Spring now, trailering it to you. I'd like to find out what I can keep and what needs to be replaced. I have: Arlen Ness Big Sucker a/c Fuelpak V&H True duals (Big Shots) There's 12,500 miles on the bike. How much lead time do you need to ensure I get in when I need to ?? (I driving about 3000 miles lol). (PM me is you wish). Thanks

For anyone on the edge about Fuel Moto's 107 Kit....Do it, you won't be sorry. I just finished my build and am almost finished with the break-in. Next is the dyno. The grin is ear to ear every time I ride this beast!

The torque is phenomenal. I usually don't even go full throttle, I just roll on a big handful and short shift about 4500 RPM's. The grins are instantaneous. But alas, I'm already wanting more (and it's only been 4 months....sigh) Does it ever end??

I was the guy from Ohio he referenced a few posts earlier. I gotta say this was by far the best money I ever spent on the bike. Jamie and the guys in the shop were great and did get the build done and dynoed in just over 24 hours. There's a really nice hotel within walking distance to their shop and plenty of good food without needing a ride. I rode about 1200 miles round trip and would do it again... just wish I'd done it sooner.
Only mistake I made was riding anywhere near Chicago; WAY too much traffic. Got stuck going back home through there for about an hour in about 95 degree heat.
I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for more performance out of their bike. Also, I had this done for about $1000 cheaper than my local dealer wanted for a stage IV 103" build that I don't think would be as fun as this is now.

No pinging here (I run 93 octane) I do get quite a bit of kickback from the starter when it's hot, though.

Just a quick update, I have about 6,000-7,000 miles on my 107". Runs great, I do get some occasional pinging when it's really hot and I'm hauling azz on the slab, 75-85 MPH + with a passenger.

Solo it runs great,,, and fast.

I have a 107 on my bike although not from this shop. My question is for those that have it how do you keep it cool? When my oil temp gets around 260 it acts like it wants to die due to low oil pressure. I have a feuling oil pump. Any help would be appreciated. I added an oil bud oil cooler but in parade type traffic it still gets hot.
