No other mods this year, but some say 2" pipes on a 103ci, I'll not maintain correct back pressure?

If you mean the exhaust exit from 1.75" to 2" no problem at all. If you mean to change the exhaust flange at the manifold you would be effectively wasting money at this point.

Yup that's right. A 2" head pipe will do nothing for your bike.....you need some serious motor for that. You will probably loose needed back pressure, but definitly won't be worth the money w/ a stock motor.
