My congrats to all that like the new m8, for me after the test ride I was hopping for so much more from the moco, agree a big inch v rod motor with touring tune in a non wiggly frame.
maybe some day Lol !

I saw one mounted on a non m8 bike the other day, didn't know it would work on those.
I wondered if that could be mounted on older bikes since the frame hasn't changed yet. Has anyone got a part number or link to it? I'd be intrested in something like that as I've got Rivco horns which pretty much precludes any left side fans.

Rode an Ultra Ltd with a Stage 1 yesterday. My 15 has a de-catted pipe, SE A/C, Fuel Moto E-series slip-ons and a FP3 with some time spent auto tuning. Other than a smoother low end i didn't notice any real difference in performance. The suspension is improved but still hampered by limited travel. However to address comments made by another forum member with a pre Rushmore and a brand X: These bikes both have 80 plus horsepower and over 100 ft. lbs of torque at the rear wheel. I really like my 15 and if anything will probably do some suspension upgrades. Unlike the brand X, my bike looks and sounds great and it runs pretty good too!

I've put too much into my current ride, gotta hang onto it for several years. Enjoy the new RG!

Wished that they would.
Wonder why they can't won't?

For anyone interested here's Fuel Moto's dyno sheet (posted on their FB page) for the stock m8. According to their post, this was a 5th gear run.
