Why don't you actually ride the bike and own it a few months before deciding that. Same with chrome....
Likes and dislikes change over the riding months. Suddenly the 600 dollar chrome front end really didn't add to the riding experiance, but maybe a rider back rest would have..

Know what I mean?

I have a 07 and I'm going to ride it at least one year, then if I feel I need it, I;m going to the 107" upgrade if there have been no issues with it

80" is all you'll need.

Yes, but is it all you want?

Why screw around? Just go to a 120 and be done with it.

Picked up an '07 Ultra in Sept. Just completed the 103 installation and loving it! Running 96 HP and 100 TQ. Tha's with the SE HTCC heads, SERT, 255 cams, and V&H basic slip-ons. Didn't want to split the cases and machine work required to do the 110.

I'll wait and see how the 96 will work. I'm not trying to create a dragster. I just want to be able to get out of trouble just as fast as I get into it.

If you do it when the bike is new, the standard warranty applies.
