    Well they have a nice Gold wing or Bee Emmm Dubya out there
    with 160 HP....

    Got nothing against upgrading the engines making more power, but it invariably leads to stuff like this, just a function of putting a lot more power to the ground than the manufacturing company built the parts to withstand.

    That's why "stock is best" just means for a reliable well powered good running HD, stock is best....

    I feel for you, been there, spent countless hours on a trailer or lift working on my "helicopter" bike... 1 hour of riding, 3 hours of wrenching...

    I went downstairs today and cranked the bike.
    Started out noisy and quietened down some.
    Its got to warm up before I drive 50 miles to get the HD dealer to look at it again since they did it about 1000 miles ago.

    I know if they got a compensator right on a 120R they can get it right sooner or later on my bike.
    Just don't understand why the compensators makes so much noise turning.

    The 107 runs so good. I got no idea what top end on it is.
    Know at 115mph its pulling hard as a freight train.
    I just don't want to go any faster in a 75 mph speed zone.

    Holy shirt "115mph" on a Harley dresser! Man I've done 160 on a Japanese bike many times years ago but I wouldn't feel safe on a dresser. Jmo

    107 will do 115 mph before you know it.
    I mean fast.
    Bike pulls hard threw the gears. And when you twist on the throttle you make her start Screaming with the noise coming out of it and I got quiet mufflers.

    AT 3000 rpm I'm doing 85mph in 6th gear.

    Had the OL on back running from a 1600 BMW who was on my But.

    I can get over 100 in 5th gear.
    Try not to watch the Speedo with it accelerating fast as it does when I go threw the gears.
    555 woods cams with the heads does a good job of pulling with 10.50 compression on Forged pistons.

    All I can say is thank you fuelmoto.

    Now if I can just get my compensator corrected.
