Default Yet another FM 107" story...
OMFG!!! Finally fired up my '07 Street Glide tonight with a new FuelMoto 107" kit, Woods TW-555 cams and DynoJet Power Vision along with Darkhorse crank, SE cam plate & oil pump, SE compensator, AIM clutch, BigBoyz headwork, Rinehart 4" true duals, adjustable push rods, RedShift dual piston cam chain tensioners and Baisley plunger & spring. The map that Jamie from FuelMoto sent was "spot on"! She started right up with no hesitation, no backfires, no decel pop. Runs and sounds PERFECT! Can't wait till break-in time is over so I can really reap the benefits. Thanks to everyone at Fuel Moto. Another VERY happy customer!!!

Ride it like you stole it, that will break it in just fine.

No! You're supposed to start it at 3/4 throttle and lug it the first 500 miles.

Congrats it's a great relief when starts right up. Mine been finished for 3 weeks and I've yet to take the first ride. I still have two or three more weeks with a cast on my foot. Our builds are similar. We will have hook sometime after there broke in and see how they compare.

That would kill me. I had to take it for a quick spin or I wouldn't have slept. Let me know when you wanna hook up.
