Besides Chicanagirl, I thought you were wishing for an off-road bike.

Read in here some where last week that some dealer or dealers are giving the SE 103 BB kit and install it free for those who buy leftover 11's with 96's.
Still need F/M and dyno I'd think, but still a pretty good deal.

I imagine a LOT of riders are doing 107/110ci upgrades as soon they get the 103 home. Its probably happening now as we speak.

If it is just the 103 upgrade then they can flash the ECM with no dyno work.

Nothing wrong with that. I have a DR650, and ride it a LOT. Nicely priced, and great all around dual. They are a lot of fun.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night! I loved my 2005 88 TC, and I loved my 2007 E/glide TC 96, and I love my 2011 Heritage TC 96B, which I bought new for a "SONG", I am very satisfied with all these motors and I am sure I would like the 103, BUT not for close to $2000 more then my close to model year closeout of my 2011. Yes, retail difference is less, but reality is close to $2K, and the 96CI is doing fine and is proven, the 103 the reliability chapter has yet to be written.
