103 probably go by the way side sooner than we think.

Same as when it went from EVO to Twin cam. With in a couple years go to any taco night and it was all twin cam. 2-3 years it will likely be all 107set

Looking at the photo of your bike, I am wondering if that is a fan between the jugs?

A new touring frame is in the works for next year so don't trade up now. Besides I never buy anything redesigned in the first couple of years of production. Until then my 15 Limited is just fine.

And the only ones that GAF are the jones who feel the need to keep up.

Bought my 16SG back in May, Dealer calls me last week and wanted to know if I wanted to trade it in on a New 17...Only a 1700 hit. And still it's a first year design...that's a whole bag of nope in my book.

I went from an 80 inch EVO with cam, exhaust, and carb upgrades to the 103HO in my 2015 Limited. I still ride the EVO, but the 103 is GREAT!

You could set the bar a little higher, LOL. I got a '14 Road King as well, I figure as long as it puts a smile on my face, Im good. So far its been 32K miles of smiles.
