This is definitely a "budget touring" build but wanting to see what I consider to be conservative modifications can do for the Limiteds.
Very interesting! Especially since you're coming off of a scooter with a considerable amount of power. Have you made any bone-stock dyno pulls as a baseline?

I have not done a baseline run, but have seen others that have and the bone stock Limiteds are in the 70hp/88-90 torque range.

HD advertises that the stock 103 has 102 torque, but I have not seen one come close to that number yet.

102 at the crank minus the 12-15% frictional losses... about right. Or, I THINK that's about right.
