Fuel Moto uses the TW-555 on these builds. There's a 14 page thread on it in the touring section, and there's a lot of good reading there. They have performed several of these, and posted the results of each in that thread (up to a point, I guess).
If you have the time, give that thread a read.

I just found Fuel Motos site the other day, they have all the info on pricing right on the site (you may need other parts depending on what you are running now) but im thinking about ordering a kit this winter and getting the heads ported with the decompression. for the gains you get out of it very resonable pricing imo!

Still need to get back home....but I did drive it around the block up in Wisconsin. But honestly, it feels like a completely different motorcycle. World of a difference.....AWESOME! The pull is unbelievable. Very smooth.

Very cool! I've been looking forward to seeing your results.
I'm going to have manual compression releases installed on mine, as well, when I do the Fuel Moto 107" upgrade. They say you don't need 'em, but I figure they'll be nice to have if the battery ever gets a little weak or something. Are you using them at all?
Fortunately, for me, I already have the PC-V with Auto Tune from Fuel Moto, so I'll be able to use their base map and let the AT do the work from there.
Do you think the head and throttle body work made any difference? I ask because they've done several of these jobs with stock heads and I seem to recall that they have achieved very similar results every time.

On the compression releases. Initially they mentioned it wouldn't be needed. But up there Jamie said they would be...so they put them in. Yes, using them if the motor is hot and restarting, seems to start easier.
I think the head and throttle work, personally is what made the difference. My numbers are VERY similar to the other dyno results that are posted on their site, with the Level B Head work and throttle work. I'd suggest asking Jamie if he's got some Dyno results...Without the head work, he might have some.

Yes. I can't say I have a lot of experience getting this done to a bike, but after doing a lot of research on this forum, I found that this was the best price vs performance for your $$$. I also believe it was MORE than worth bringing the bike up to Fuel Moto to have them do the install and Dyno. For the difference in price for the Kit vs Them installing and Dyno......I couldn't find a single shop that was any where near a similar price....Let alone even coming close to their experience, reputation, and reviews. IMO

Since I already had the PC and pipes, I could have had your work done for under $2900?
Wow! Mine cost over $4000 for what you paid $2900 and you got way better gains than I did. My wait was also over 2 months.
I'm impressed! I know who I'll be recommending from now on.
Thanks for sharing, Aaron, and for answering all of our inquiries!
