My fuel moto 107 lasted less than 2k miles. Before the bottom end took a crap. .004 before the 107 and I didn't measure the runout after all the bottom end noise and vibration. The crank is scored BAD. I gave up. I swapped out for a S&S 124LC. It's a crap shot. I thought the same thing "it's not going to happen to me". Well it did.................
Smart man. :-)). How do you like the LC. The crate motor is priced pretty good when you figure out what it would cost to beef up lower end and bore cases, etc...
Most likely the direction I will be going.
I checked my first couple tanks of gas during break-in and was gettingabout 40~41mpg, just using miles per tank divided by the gallons used.
I'll reconcile the Trip meter on one of my next runs. Weather is sucking here this week and all the way into next week. Sheesh!
But here's what I got this past week-end and yesterday with my new FM 107 build. Not to mention it is a friggin' rocket and I haven't been taking it easy on the throttle when I can. But the other side I'm happy about is the engine is perfectly happy cruising along country 2 lane byways at 2500-3k and just purrs like a kitten.

I love it!!! Tons of power and smooth as silk. It's well worth the money. Mine dynoed out @ 123hp and 133Tq with a slipping clutch. The bottom end torque is NICE.

That is some excellent stuff right there, glad to hear you are enjoying your build.

It's been great! I could really feel it getting a bit smoother this last couple hundred miles. Now have new Synthetic 15/50 M1 in it, and it loves that too.
Just to correct myself. My bike is NOT getting 46mpg. The Trip Center is needs calibration to be accurate and my actual mileage on my last 161 miles is 40.1 miles per gallon.
