FM 107 Poll
I'm just curious how many of the FM 107 builds took place in lieu of purchasing a new bike. In my case, I had a hair up my backside to purchase a new RGU to replace my '09 RG back in April/May of this year but once I realized that HD didn't offer any color that rang my bell, I started looking at alternatives. (My bike is Mirage Orange Pearl) I had been watching the posts about the FM 107 and started getting excited about having more power in a bike I already loved. I went ahead with the build back in May and have ZERO regrets about my decision. Anyone else do the same or similar??

I might suggest that riders looking for more power might upgrade what they have- because it works.
riders looking for a "new look" are drawn to a new bike
so really different motivations.

It's a smoking deal on a HP per $ gain.

Thanks for providing the link! Very good numbers and nice curves on the dyno. Sounds like a real good deal. For an additional $700 you can do the heads and improve the hp a lot and the tq a bit as well.

I voted other, I will more than likely be doing the 107, just trying to research anything else I might need to ad. I thought about the new CVO RG, because I really like it a lot, thing is, I do most of the work on my bike, and I've had no major problems, plus there is absolutely nothing wrong with my bike. Why fix what's not broke? And if I bought a CVO I'd still have to make many changes.
