Not so sure I could get the 103 & oil cooler installed for the $800 difference between the 96 and 103 package from the factory.

Here's the REAL kicker.

For less money you could have your heads ported and polished...put them back on the 96 and SMOKE a 103.

Power is in the heads not larger bore.

I would smoke all 96" stage1, with a 88" stage1, w/510G cams and PCIII.
Power is in the cams and heads.

This getting off subject.

Do a serious road trip with a RG.
4600 mile in 15 days. Slab riding was, cruise set @ 80mph in 6th gear, never needing to down shift.

Road Glide is function over form.

Great color combo for your RGU . . .

I wish Sedona Orange was available for the 2010 RGC.

This is my second black RG, some people don't realize its a new bike.

Matching the black is easy, for touch ups. . .
