Default Zippers sleeper 103 vs. Fuel Moto 107 upgrade

OK, I want to pick your brains here. I am tossed up between these two upgrades. I am looking at the Zippers sleeper 103 upgrade for the 96 or the Fuel Moto 107 upgrade. I ride a 2010 RG with V&H true duals with Widow slip ons. I am running also running a PCV. I do not want to dump the money into a new fuel controller. Any thoughts on these two upgrades. The Zippers upgrade claims to put me into the 95HP range and the Fuel Moto claims around 104HP. I know FM also gets a lot of press on here but I listened to that once before with the J&M speakers and I am not impressed at all. Thanks for your input

For what it's worth I have never heard of Zipper's. I have however heard of Fuel Moto and I have a set of their slip on's. Their customer support is excellent and I have never heard one bad thing on this forum about them. There would be no question for me if I was deciding between the two, definitely Fuel Moto. I already have the 103 in my Limited so the upgrade to the 107 wouldn't justify the cost for me.

Zippers has excellent customer service too, probably can't go wrong either way. If I were you, and I were already using a PCV, I'd go the FuelMoto route. If I were using a TMax I'd go the Zippers route.

Good choice. My 2011 RGC came with a 103 engine, but if I had a 2010 model with 96 engine, I definately would have upgraded to the FM 107. Best value around. With a good Stage 2, some have posted some excellent Dyno numbers with that set up. In fact, I think FM posts some on their web site.

Can't comment on the Zipper setup, but I've got 2K miles on my FM107 kit and am extremely pleased.

He installed my cams and dyno'd my bike for me. All I can say is I am very happy with his service and customer support. He's second to none as far as tuning goes (although I'm guessing you're not going to travel all the way there from where you're at). I don't know anything about the zippers kit, but if they're advertising 95 HP (I don't know how much TQ they're advertising), I'm only 5HP away from that with just cams and a good tune. You also didn't mention the difference in cost between the two, so that could be a factor as well. I'll admit, I'm biased because of past experience with Jamie, but he'll be the one that gets my dollars anytime there's anything that I can have him do for me.

By the way, I know what you mean about the whole J & M thing too, look at my sig!!
