Default HQ 103 just ordered

Was thinking about just going with the heads on top of the HD 103 kit but for just $500 more I got the whole kit.
&nbsp\\;
Now the question is do I do the install myself or have someone else do it?
&nbsp\\;
I have&nbsp\\;medium level&nbsp\\;skills at wrenching.

Congrats Jerry.&nbsp\\; I'd give PhilM and Dalton a call and get their feedback on installing yourself.&nbsp\\;Shouldn't be difficult but at least have these guys on the back burner for info and guidance.

For an 07 the HQ 103 kit is bolt on, no case work needed. been looking at it myself as a winter project. Right now I am torn between the HQ 103 and AMS 105.

HQs has some quality stuff -- I have the 103 sport, should have went with the 107 or 113-- I have to use the clutch to do wheelies -- next build one of the requirements will be wheelies with no clutch.

You can do it yourself -- Kevin, Phil M and Dalton are just a call away -- Dalton posted his build that included pictures and Phil did as well.


I'm sure both treads are still here.

I'm currently thinking of a 103 upgrade to my 07 ultra. What are the expected hp and torque gains with this upgrade? I have a PCIII, Big Sucker and true duals on the bike. I just want a little more get up and go, especially with two up. Thanks!

even if you have to split the cases on pre- 2007 models to install the 103" flywheel set, it is a "bolt in" application.

I agree... do it yourself and save a crap load of money. The 103 in an 07 is a plug and play... pretty much.
There are a few tools you will need to purchase (bearing removal, piston ring clamp) other then that it is easy..... Ask Doug to set your rings for you if your not sure on how to do that. Like all said Phil, Dalton and Kevin can help you. There is more pride in doing it yourself and you will know that it is set correctly. Adjusting the rods is easy although you might need a second hand to help spin the tire unless your doing it on a whole bike lift for stability. We did Manishhogs on a standard bike jack and it wasn't bad to do. Take your time and listen the advice that the mentioned will give.
