Default Fired up my build today

Tore it down after some hard miles put a 107 kit from Rev Perf freshened up my heads , new camplate, oil pump , chain shoes etc.. Keeping my same TW 55 cams and my Reinharts 4" for now. My 103 ran great for 50, 000 plus hard hard miles ... My bike is 07 SG..

I'm liking the sound of this 107 kit and no not worried about there past problems. The cylinders pistons etc in kit very high quality. We shall see once the spring gets here but for now just break in miles when temp gets up higher than 35-40 and no salt on roads.. I'm old..

That ought to breath some new life into her. Let us know how it turns out when you're really able to get after it.

.003 and know I'm to sending it out and splitting my cases. .. Ill roll the dice for another 50,000 miles. My oil pump was bad my camplate couldhave been used but I bought the oem pump, chains, camplate etc.. Pistons were beat prett good ( gas today sucks).
My engine always shook but now with the 107 RP jugs looking much better but once I get some miles on here we shall see.... No hole shots for me but I ride hard I don't baby my bike never have .. I also put the Meztler 888 tires on so hopefully that will be a good upgrade
And a painted inner fairing , and new mirrors, man somebody stop me!!! Lol

you will love the results. I just had a 107 build on my 12' FLHTK. It is a 10X better bike in every way. Faster (way faster), smoother, cooler.

Thanks ! I'm looking forward to it now if winter would just hurry up and leave... Did you do your crank?
