Contemplating Road Trip
Thinking about me and buddy of mine leaving Tampa, FL. Headed to FM USA in Wisconsin to get the FM 107" Upgrade, any challenges besides the miles? Would there be an issue riding the build back 1400 miles?

Ahhhh damn, color me envious !!! I'm wanting to make that trip for the
same reason, but my work schedule is too busy and my wallet is too empty !!
I'd want to take 2 weeks and sight-see along the way....northern route
over and southern route back, with a couple days riding the area there
for the 500 mile break in process.

The problem with highway riding is you are supposed to vary your speeds and RPM's.

Road Trip
Call Jamie, I pretty sure he can break it in on the Dyno. I have 900 miles on mine and have no problems at all. Either way you will be up and down on the throttle 
. You will no be disappointed. Plan a nice route home, change the oil and filter after the first 500 miles(my opinion), and have fun. Make sure you have an appointment!
P.S. I spent a lot of time at Mac Dill A.F.B. with the 56th A.G.S./F-16.
