Line it up with a built 95" and see what happens. Hell, line it up with a 88" with headwork and cams. I know the old saying their is no replacement for displacement, but the standard 103" isnt all its cracked up to be. For some reason, the ones with cams and headwork aren't all that impressive compaired to 95" either.

Your lower gear ratio helps out a lot beatin on these newer bikes.
The point of my post wasn't to knock anyone or their ability. There is always a better rider out there, and always a bike with more HP. The point I was trying to make is simple. Look at the numbers the 96's and 103's make and you will see that even though they have quite a bit of displacement advantage over 88's and 95's they arent making quite as big of a power difference as one would think.

Put your piece of $hit on the track and we'll see!
But just so you know I'm the track manager at Thunder Valley Bristol International Raceway, so printing up a time slip with any time I want is a no brainer.
I'll be more then happy to race any 06 or newer Dyna on the strip or across US 129 or US 421.
Whenever you get tired of being a key puncher and want to see who's got a really fast bike you let me know.
