B and Non B Engines
Ok...Here's the deal. ALL models of Harley above the Sportsters and Dynas (for 2012) have the 103 cu in engines.
For 2012 the Road King has the non B engine and has 103 cu in motor and produces 100 ft lbs of torque.
The 2012 Soft Tail Deluxe has the 103B motor and produces 98.7 ft lbs of torque.

No! It makes a couple tenths less as the balance sucks a little hp to spin it.
Since HD does not generally post HP of it's bikes, you can still tell by looking at the torque figures in the specs.

I was looking at 2011 bikes, both 96 cubes. the B motor makes more torque. I'm not sure about horsepower. The same was true in 2010 when I bought my Dyna.
