first impressions HQs 103
just got the bike out of the shop first impressions are;
1. i should have done the 113 or 120--if a 103 can do this just think what a 113 or 120 will do
2. nice power there is no lag between noise of the motor and go of wheel---it's instant
3. be careful with the right hand --- got a little sideways leaving the shop and again in my cul de sac (on purpose)
4. the mid-range torque is excellent --- the bikes pulls in fifth gear from 50 to 85 without effort
5. the 103 should be the standard motor
for me it was worth the price of admission (about 2k parts and 750 labor)
Will post dyno numbers after complete break in

RE: first impressions HQs 103
HQs sport 103 ---- no chaps -- 75 degrees in Atlanta -- 2 waves---I do like it --- rode 52 miles from the shop to home---builder wants me make sure the bike is warmed up before hitting it hard---I put miles on my bike and ride on the hard side---time will tell if this holds up--everyone says it will.
the bike 07 SG is just flat out fast now--hit the gas the SOB just goes---It did change the note on the Rinehart tru duals---I'm thinking maybe a thunderheader may do the trick---the idle exhaust is great---don't like the sound of WOT---got 450 miles to go for full break in--then we will get it on the road and really see what it will do

RE: first impressions HQs 103
if I had the opportunity to do it all over again I would most difinitely do the 113 or 120---I would forsake some chrome for more motor

RE: first impressions HQs 103
Lyn,
HQ is the chit......I haven't ridden since Saturday, which was some test runs. I just bought an XBox360 during lunch but it's going to have to wait until I can get a quick ride in. I am impressed with my 95".
You should have talked to Phil about break in. I think it's too late for your bike now, but I did
30 mph - 60 mph 10 plus times in 3rd gear and from what I'm told I'm ready.

RE: first impressions HQs 103
I like HQ a lot I had them do my Sportster engine and I am going to have them do my RK engine in a year or two at most.
I'm curious do they have a down load or something to getthe SERT to work with there set up; if not how do they deal with the modern elentronics on these new bikes??
