I'm figuring somewhere along the $2200 - $2300 range, which, with everything else I've read should put her in the 120-125 range for torque.
I'm giving it another year before I start the mechanical side. I want to make sure I'm fully comfortable on the bike before I dump money into the engine, plus I'm having too much fun riding it as it is now. Figured if I wait another year, I'll get bored and want to mod something anyway so it would be a good time to do the mechanical.

Curious to see what you come up with from FM though. Why only 107" btw.....don't want to have bragging right to rip on all of those CVO weenies "love you guys, haha" who had too much money to blow when they bought their bike.

I didn't want to go TOO crazy with it.. and with the 107 kit you don't have to bore the case, it's all pretty much bolt on upgrades (less so with the cams, but still). I'm thinking I'll still be able to rip the 110's up from the light.. It's even more bragging rights when they're looking at the tail lights (or I'm at least keeping up..) of a smaller ci bike.. haha

Not to mention, I've only ever heard and read good things about the FM 107 upgrades - especially with the heads being opened up. She'll be a beastie when it's all said and done.

Bobbie, I also like the drag bar look/feel, but didn't like the reach. I had a set custom made by Greg's Cycles. Took the FOREVER to finish, but they did a nice job. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, we had snow. So I have only "driven" it around the shop! lol

I don't like ape's, so these are 0" rise with a 9" pullback. I sit more comfortable on the back, and not bent over so. Can't wait for spring!

Here's a few pics.

Jweinsteiger - Not sure if you are asking about the PV or just the Visor, so I'll give my opinion on each! :-) So far, I am liking the PowerVision. The wide range of things you can monitor should making tuning a lot easier. I haven't played with the tune much yet, though. Ran into winter, so can't give you much of an opinion there. However, just playing around with it on the comp, I don't think it will be too bad.

As for the visor, its ok. Just ok. I thought it would be a little better quality (i.e. chromed sheetmetal or something BESIDES PLASTIC). So I was a little disappointed with their choice of materials. As for shade, it seems to do a decent job. Nothing with be perfect or spectacular, as the weather changes too much. I don't have too many issues seeing the display on most days that I've ridden with it so far. I do think it finishes it off nicely, looks more "complete". And for the $14 I paid for it, I guess I am getting my money's worth from it. :-)

Joe, what is the windshield you have. It is the perfect size and it looks like a quick detachable, yes?

Apologies for the mundane silly new guy nature of this but; as a Breakout owner, what as a minimum should I pack along for tools on a road trip ? A kit advertized commercially includes:

3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 and 10mm wrenches

5/8 plug wrench

8" adjustable

Electrical tape, cable ties, shop towel, AA flashlight.

I'd like to make up my own kit, of course, subtracting from the above list what I'm unlikely to need for a "Breakout" and adding to it the more likely necessities. A flat rear tire would require a cell phone I'm guessing .
