I just called Fuelmoto and added the Compression Release just in case. Getting excited, big Tennessee trip coming up in a couple weeks.

Hey Jamie,
I'm the guy that will be dropping my bike off Sunday. I have a few questions and thought for everyones benefit I would just post them here.
2009 Streetglide, V & H Big Sucker, PC-V and Monster Ovals (stock head pipes).
I'm getting the 107" & the Level B Head Porting.
Have you done a 107 on a bike with Monster Ovals? How'd it turn out?
On the Heads I read both that you suggest the Compression Release and also that you don't need it. I do a lot of traveling, I don't want to have any problems starting it, should I go ahead and have you put them in or is it unnecessary?
Also, on the 09's I believe the stock head pipes DO NOT have the Cats is that correct? I thought I read that the 09 stock head pipes are actually pretty good.
Thanks,

You do not need compression releases with the 107 kit with stock heads as cranking pressure is in the 185-low 190's range and they start awesome even when hot, if your are doing our Level B heads we offer the option of raising the compression and we would recommend the compression releases. We charge an additional $100.00 for the releases and machining
The 09 head pipe does not have a catalyst and should work fine

Initially, my FM 107 had some starting issues. About 50% of the time it would kick back and the starter clutch would slip. it sounded horrible and was quite embarrassing when showing my friends my new setup. I seriously thought I screwed up by not getting the CR's installed. However, the starting issues diminished as the pistons and rings wore in. I can only assume the new parts were creating additional internal friction and that it was just enough to cause some starting problems. Now that the parts have familiarized themselves with each other, the starter clutch slips only once every 25 starts or so. Through some trial and error, I've also found it best to hit the starter button immediatly after switching on the ignition. Can't say for sure if this method will work for everyone, but it's what works best for me.

I would have to look back, I know we have done a few 107's with Monster Round mufflers which have a nearly identical baffle to the Monster Ovals, they perform well but their chambered design may give up a few Hp/Tq to a straight thru louvered or perforated core on a 107" Level B head combination

The bike will be there tomorrow sometime in the afternoon.
Thanks again

I installed the SE Compensator Friday night, easy 2 hour job. Made a huge difference in the starting, starts like it should have from the factory also it shifts MUCH smoother. It seems like a different bike after a 2.5 Hour ride up to Little Shute.
