Does Electra Glide Limited have automatic compression release

I have heard that the 103 in the limited comes stock with automatic compression releases. Does anyone know for sure if they do? Thanks in advance.

If you can go to a dealer and look at the 2010 parts manual you can find out for sure. Maybe the maintenance manual addresses it as well. Let us know what you find out.

I've heard that they do , but again, no hard information. I also want to know what cams it has.

yes it has them
My owners manual states bikes with twin cam 103 and 110 engines are equipped with an automatic compression release.

Yeah even with only the 96" sometimes I have to let off the starter and go again because one of the pistons just happen to stop almost to the top before the valve opens. Man there is alot of compression built up in there. Still don't seem as bad as my old 77' FXE though.
