Just can't find any with the 103 package in California until October. Being impatient, was thinking of just getting the 96 if there's no other difference in the bike...

How important is the Security and ABS? If not important than get the 96. The money saved can be used to really get the engine the way you like it. I have the 96 and just new air intake, slip ons and map were enough to make me happy. You could do a LOT more with $1900 worth of upgrades. I was at Livermore Harley yesterday for a Recall on my 09 and they have a Sedona Orange (96) and it is gorgeous. It is the only color I've seen on a RG that really grabbed me like the vivid black with blue pinstripe. Every RGC with 103 package or RGU that has been uncrated there has sold instantly. They have a vivid black RGC and the Sedona Orange.

Did the 2011s come with 13'' air shocks? What did you do to lower it? The 2010s came with 12'' air shocks and they really sucked. I put a set of Ohlin's on the 13''s which sit the same as the 12s because they have 1'' of drop that the stock shocks know nothing about. What a difference in the ride. Tried a couple types of shocks and the Ohlin's are by far the best i tried.

I almost pulled the trigger on a Vivid Black Ultra, but decided to sleep on it. My '07 Street Glide was Vivid Black and trying to keep it clean was a PITA! When the dealer wheeled the Ultra into the sun, what stood out was the dust and the smudges. Can't be beat when its clean and swirl free though!!
When I saw the Sedona Orange in the sun today, it was amazing. Didn't show the dust and the only thing that stood out was how great it looked! Sold me on it, to bad it was sold!
