Cdonis, thank you. I've been in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex since '83 and I've not heard about them. I'll chat with them next week.

Run away from the 106 kits with the wiseco pistons, I don't care if there from S&S or not, they are junk. Go with a 103 or 107 and use SE or CP or the equivalent of.

107 is the way to go - perfect size motor for what your attempting to achieve - FuelMoto, GMR, Hillside, or HeadQuarters - S&S is the best crate motor you can buy - a little more expensive but well worth the money - check them out before making a move

I would also go see GMR with them being right there, I live close to Tman performance so it's easier for me to just drive to their shop with questions and to pick up parts and not have any wait times.

All the guys with 107s talk about how much more tq. & hp. the 107 puts out over the 103, I have seen #s just as good as your 107s, coming out of 103s. A well tuned stage 4 103 will do anything a 107 will do. Not knocking a 107, just saying.

I can strongly recommend the 255 Easy Start cams as being totally effective. I rebuilt my 09 during the cold weather in February this year because it had 80,000 miles on it and I figured it was time to freshen in up. I ride everyday and I have yet to have a "kickback" when it is hot. Previous to the Easy Start cams I would get kickback 2 or 3 times a day, especially when I pulled in to get gas.

Please describe the "kickback". I too have an 07 103 w/255s SE intake and exhaust. Compensator, clutch and starter have all been replaced. When hot, doesn't start as easily as when cold. Get a little popping/clunking noise.
