Default How’s your 107 doing?

I haven’t seen any posts recently about 107 builds or projects, so I thought I would throw this out there. I guess those who have their 107’s running are out riding and having too much fun.


My 107 is running great when I can get out and ride. After an initial 50 mile ride and oil change I was able to get over 200 miles on over the Easter weekend with beautiful spring weather and temps in the high 60’s. The bike has incredible power now. It pulls like a freight train. I still haven’t taken it much over 3500 rpm and I haven’t found any need to (yet). I can only imagine what it will be like after I have it fully broken in. On the highway, passing is effortless (5th gear roll on is amazing).


I woke up this morning to 2 inches of snow so I’m just a little depressed.



I have to keep telling myself the warm weather is coming…….take a deep breath………it’s coming…….breath again.

Picked my street glide up a couple of weeks ago with a new 107 and have put only 150 on it due to crap weather. I was hoping to have it broken in by now so I could get a final tune and really have some fun. But with the impending 2 straight weeks of forecasted rain who knows when I'll actually be able to ride.

No news is good news. People love to complain on these forums, but if there is no problem, we don't sing the praise as easily.

If your confident the motor is good, I would progressively start running it a little harder and higher in the revs, the rings are the only thing to "break in", and they are probably about there by now.

Would love to do a 107, just can't justify the $3K right now for the Hell Raiser kit, as I would not do the 107 w/out dong the crank work too, which is the weak link in the scheme of things as far as I'm concerned.

I just had the Fuelmoto 107 Hellraiser build done on my Rocker (go pick it up Tuesday) and I to felt the same way and had the crank done.

Really like my 107" build a lot. Power is real good and so is the reliability. It was broken in on the dyno at the time of the build, so I've been riding it hard since day 1.

I have 8K miles on my 107 so far and plan to put another 10-12K on it this summer. I have had no problems with mine. Hope to get a full exhaust and some head work this winter.

Subscribing. Anyone with any miles on the 107 have any heat issues especially running in hot weather?
