Default Fuel Moto 107 Build Done...Finally!!

Well I finally completed my Fuel Moto 107"BB kit install and all I can say is WOW, what a difference. Might as well be a brand new bike. In addition to the FM107 kit I also installed a set of FM's "B" heads and sent the throttle body to HPI for their 54mm bore and port/polish treatment. Tuning duty is taken care of by a Dynojet Powervision via a preloaded map from FM. I plan on having the bike tuned following the break-in and will post results. Jamie and Keith provided support that was nothing short of stellar.
While I had the bike torn apart for the engine work I also installed the Glide-Pro Stabilizer kit and ooooh what a difference in handling that made. Hat's off to Jake at Glide-Pro for a quality product.
If you are on the fence about the FM kit.......I say do it. It's a hard grin to get off your face when you go for your first ride following the install.

I went with the Fuel Moto 107 to lessen my desire for a new bike. (I had the itch) I definitely feel I made the right choice, and saved some money in the long run. But......now I'm wondering how the bike would feel with the Wood TW-5-6. Most of my riding is at the lower end of the RPM scale and I think the extra Tq would be welcomed. I wonder if Jamie and his crew have done this yet and what the results were.

Funny you should mention that particular cam. At one point I spoke with Jamie about substituting the TW5-6 for the TW555.

You could run the TW5 cams if the heads were set up for them from the start. You'd need to bring the static compression down a bit.


You should be really impressed with the amount of power you're making with the 555 cams and the stage II heads. You might need to put the bike up on a dyno and have a better look at what it's doing.

Always glad to see another happy Fuel Moto story, I think I'm going to go for the Hellraiser, but if I decide not to I'll be doing the 107 with the B heads also.

I'm jealous, sounds awesome, I hate you, happy for you.
Just a few emotions/thoughts as I read your post.

Looking forward to seeing how much power that set up is making, have fun
