They don't say there is no replacement for displacement for nothing.

Did just that on my 08. Went with better cams also. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Did the Stage II on my '07 Ultra, the 103 Upgrade was definitely worth the money!!!! If done correctly, the difference in the bike is amazing! Lots of options out there, make sure that you do all your research upfront. Tons of good information on this forum.

Default more horses

**** Displacement = More Horse Power you can do more with cams if you have more displacement

If you plan on only riding between 2and 5k miles per year and flogging it everytime your on it , go for the 103. But if you plan on doing more miles then that and may want to upgrade to an ultra in a year or two, leave it stock and ride the wheels off it.This way you'll have more money in your pocket and won't be thinking "theres a couple of grand I'll never see again".,,,

Uh I have been thinking about doing that for a couple of years now. Well maybe someday. Oops it's someday & I still love it.

Do it no matter how many miles you ride each year. You won't regret it. I have put 9600 miles on my Superglide since April '08 and I see no reason why I would wait to buy an Ultra geezer cruiser.
