Headquaters Build 103 vs 107
OK, so I'm on thier site looking into the 103 or 107 build and by looking at thier prices it looks like the difference between the two is very little. I think it was somethink like 50 bucks between the two.
So here's the question, why wouldn't someone just opt for the 107 if the price is so little between the two?

they are both drop in from what i see. Once you go tp 110 and up it requires splitting cases, etc but both of these just require parts sent there for work and then returned.

I have had both; 103 on a 07 SG and 107 on a 08 RG (totaled) and now a 09 RG.
The difference is in cost is minimal; the difference in power is very noticeable.
the 103 was quick; would get sideways in a hurry and do clutch induced wheelies
the 107 will get sideways to the point if you are going to gas it make sure you are in the middle of the street; it wheelie if hit the gas maybe five inches; if you do a clutch induced wheelie the amount gas you give is going to determine how high you go; this you must ride it out to ensure an easy landing; it is lighting fast for a heavy touring bike
you will be very impressed with the power (torque) it will run just like a stock bike but when you hit the gas the beast comes out--there machine work is impressive--skip the auto tuner and get a good dyno tune--I have one issue with the current HQs auto tuner and a couple of issues with the previous auto tuner--I'm going to talk to Kevin tomorrow about the auto tuner issue

IKR0 - thanks for the imput. I remember reading your posts previously about the bike. I'm not interested in lifting the tire off the ground and sideways usually isn't something I like on this bike (love it on the dirtbike). I'm mostly looking for more power to pass when I want and get that low end pull off the start. I'm 190 and the wife is 105 so it's not to pull around alot of weight.
I'm leaning towards the 107 but was concerned about reliability.
I heard HQ has a new cam out there as well but I don't see it on the website. I think Phil brought it up before.

The bigger the better. You wont regret it. If it's a differents of $50 it's a no brainer. I mean it would break the bank. So As i said, go big.

Then I agree with you, why would anyone choose 103 over 107? Go for it and let us know what the total bill comes to. You planning on doing the install yourself?
