Wow, must be nice. Wish I was you; I'm 4 days ride away ! Well, not really. Atleast 2 days of long hard riding. I'm sure you'll be counting the minutes. Hope the weather is good for you. Ride safe and enjoy...

Shoot, I thought that this was about your ride w/your 107 from FM.
Let us know then, when it's done.
This is almost as silly as the "going to for be sale" threads..

They are going to dyno your bike the same day they build it? That don't sound right. Usually you want to break it in and get at least a thousand miles on the motor.

Jamie at FuelMoto does a nice job. Had my 08 Road Glide done in April. He heat cycles the engine repeatedly after the build, then does the dyno. He did recommend that I take it easy and vary the speed for like the first 500 miles when I asked him about breaking in the motor like a new bike.
I was in on a Thursday night, they did an initial dyno and check on the bike, let it cool over night, build on Friday, dyno Friday night and I was out the door.
Quick and to the point.
Bike pulls real hard, very rideable, very happy.

Rode my 2010 Limited to FuelMoto on the 9th of May. I am 95 miles away (Milwaukee) from their shop (Little Chute). They dyno'd it on the 10th (before build). Completed the build on the 12th and dyno'd that nignt. Pickup on the 13th and drove home the 1 1/2 hour. According to the before and after dyno's I gained 30 hp and 30 ft/lbs. of TQ. The ride home was fablous and the power needed to perform a pass was instant. Very, very happy with the 107" kit.

Right now I've got the 107" build with the TW-555 cams, 4" JackPot mufflers, 2/1/2 headpipe, PC-V, and SE Stage One air cleaner. Dyno numbers before were 76 hp and 91 ft/lbs. of TQ. Final dyno was 106 hp and 121 ft/lbs. of TQ. Did I mention I was very happy.

the dyno is a good place to break in a bike, controlled enviroment, everything being monitered.... actually your bike spent time on a dyno before it even made it the dealer......
