I hate love bugs, they make such a mess. If you don't get them off the windshield they will etch the plastic.... So how does the bike run? I'll be doing the same mods on my 2013 Heritage when it gets here.

Good No's for the stage 1 - 103..

The average 96'ers have to install some cams to get around 93/80.


If U can and haven't done it yet, put Ur dyno sheet in this thread so others can see how the new 103's are doing. If it has the before and after mods it'd be even better...

I'd like to see how the V&H's help in the lower rpm's also..

Question Huh?

OK, I give up, what the hell are "love bugs"?
It's not the same as "baby batter" is it?

You don't have them in MD. They swarm down here in the south twice a year. Male connects itself permanently to the female during mating season and they fly around looking like the push-me-pull-you from Dr. Doolittle. Their bodily fluids are a bit corrosive, so if left on your vehicle, they etch the paint...and plastic windshields. Pain in the ***!

anybody do this upgrade with Rush pipes? Can't decide which yet.

Love Bugs - very black bugs stuck together in pairs flying around. Gazillions of them. I guess baby batter is involved!!

Love bugs? Never seen anything like that. Must be a southern thing. Good, you keep them down there.

Lovebugs a real south thing came up from south american thing . The only way to kill them is a fast moving car or bike and smell like hell in your hair . I will put print out on . Jones Performance in Chiefland FL did the set up , does great work and builds killer ZX14 . Thanks for the feed back . Dan

We do not have love bugs, but we have all sorts of grasshoppers. make a heck of a mess and can really hurt if they hit exposed skin.

Was down in FL a few years ago for a wedding down near Vero Beach. Must have been the Love Bug season because I was introduced to these while driving the rental car. Things about drove me nuts. I couldn't imagine having to get those swarms off my bike. Good Luck.
