actually it wasnt bad i use to have a 08 roadie so it felt weird at first but it went away real fast. last night when went riding it felt so comfortable i already scraped the left side running board. yea changing the seat was the first thing i did i still have to install my ultra oil cooler cuz these bikes run real hot. the rear cylinder shut down on me 2 times.

To bad I can't find a 103 or it would be mine! Is the factory 103 that much difference than the 96? Other than the displacement and the oil cooler, any other differences?

1.6 horsepower and 6.5 lb-ft of torque. Hardly worth it if you ask me.

Default Congrats!
That is a beautiful color for the Roadie! I love my 08 and I don't think I can let it go, but that is a really nice color! Congrats and ride safe!

Thats kinda what I'm thinking, especially since I can't find a factory 103 Sedona Orange.

No other difference in the bikes besides the displacement and oil cooler?
