For those that made the switch, will I be OK with the power difference? That 103 did get up and go for a Harley.

I've read the 1200's are arguably the quickest bike Harley makes due to their power:weight ratio (besides the V-Rods). The only time I would imagine the 103 would pull away from the 1200 Sportster is on the highway at very high speeds.

Yeah, the 1200's are little rockets until you get up into the higher freeway speeds. They get there plenty quick though. Unless your cruising 70+ you won't miss the big twin for performance, even on a stock 103.
