Tunes are good, I was figuring more bass, but guess ill need to add more speakers, crystal clear and powerfull with the pdx amp. Stopped by the stereo store yesterday and was checking out the focal mini subwoofers (6 inch), Iam wondering if they will work in the inner fairing pointed towards the forks........ 2 of those with the 6.5's should sound good if i can get em to fit (may just switch out to the focal K2's when I do that....... course thats a way down the road, gonna work on the 58mm throttlebody next.

I guess it's safe to assume the SE Heavy Breather's elbow tube is = / > 58mm ...?

I kind of got to wondering about the A/C backing plates on SE / aftermarket high flow units ... never measured mine, but am still using my stock 44mm TB (think they went to 46mm in '06) .... Since I've got 95" vice bigger inch configuration like yours, I've been planning swapping out stock TB for 50mm SE as and when I upgrade my heads ... (don't think I'd benefit from going much bigger than that) ....

* * *

I'd like to eventually upgrade my mobile audio, myself ... been looking at the Sony DSX-S100 (series ... also have a S200 and S300 variant) ... the controller is designed to control iPod/iTouch ... and has an internal tray/plug designed specifically to control/power the unit ....

Don't think I'll go quite as far as the amp-in-the-bag arrangement ... and probably stick with two speaker setup (or maybe four--with a pair of tweeters) ....

Congrats Shane. Sounds like a monster. Good on you for doing it yourself. I love my T-Man 590's.

No still using the stock 50mm throttlebody, that is my next mod, I think ill be picking up the SE 58MM throttlebody when the funds are avail (another suggestion by Don Dorfman), was researching HPI, but for the money I dont think you can go wrong with the SE 58MM, maybe someone else with more experiance than in this area would care to throw there two cents in.

My 103 is very similar to your 107. Similar compression, same cam, similar headwork, stock throttle body (I have cables though), good 2-1 exhaust. I'm making 114/120. I'm guessing your increased cubes will compensate for the lower numbers TBW bikes seem to put out and you will be very close to those numbers if not better. A lot will depend on how good that Rev Perf tuner really is. I have no doubt the heads are up to the task. Either way, you have gone WAY beyond most bikes on the road. Congrats man. I'm excited for you.
