Just got an invite for the release party at the HD museum. I was there last night. The wall of death was there, seen it before but always fun.

Yes, the automatic compression releases are on the previous factory 103's. You cannot see it as it is under the rocker covers but they are there. I doubt the cams changed, but one never knows. The camshaft design is for emissions so I don't really see it changing too much.
For those that have the 96" engine, I would not think you have some outdated money losing rock. It's a very good engine and does have decent power and torque. I have no problem with mine and no desire to modify it. I have found if you shift at 3000 rpm, the bike performs a lot better and the shifting is smoother. If you guys ever rode a stock 74 incher, the "big" Harley OHV engine for many years, you would think those lame 96's were rocket ships. Those 74 inch bikes were ridden all over the world too.

If you're not trying to impress anyone, or fit an image, why would you say that on your signature?
Anyway, my real question is what is more than a 103 "they all have" on the Limited ?
Fricken idiot, as is the majority of this thread.
