I haven't ridden a Street Glide with the 103 but did ride a 2011 Ultra Limited yesterday.

I will be saving my money up to have the 103 put into my '07 Electra Glide Classic sometime in the next year.

Haven't ridden the 11 SG with the 103 but rode the several of the ultra limiteds with the same set-up. Nice ride but if it was me I would save the cash and do the engine upgrades myself. The extra displacement is nice but it is still a starving EPA certified bike. You can definately do better.

The 103 is a smart move. If u can afford it go for it. I would have them add cams and if uyou do it when you buy it they are covered under warranty

The master wrench at our dealer said the new 103 by itself isn't much, it still would need a stg1 and cams to make her perform.

I just bought a 2011 SG with the factory 103 and did the Stage 1 and also installed a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather Performance Air cleaner. Does anyone know what it would cost to put a couple 255 cams in it and would I gain much more hp and torque? I'm happy with it's performance, but I was just wandering how much more it would do with some nice cams.. I easily pulled away in 6Th gear with a some guy who pulled up along side of me on the highway last week..We stopped and talked and he had a stock 2010 Ultra with the factory 103...no stage 1. It wasn't even close. Can you just get cams or do you need head and piston work along with it?
