To all that have the new 2014 HO 103
Air or twin cooled.
Do they still sound like the 12 and 13 with all the ticking and rattling sounds from the top end?
Do they still have neutral rattle ?
Do they still clunk loud in to gear?
Do you find it hard to get in to neutral?
Do you really feel that it has more power?
Thanks to all.

My answers with my twin cool:
Very quiet, no rattling or pinging.
No neutral rattle yet.
Less clunk, easy to find neutral. Probably hydraulic clutch (big improvement)
Feels like lots more power than 2010 103 with 255 cams and TTS Mastertune.
The new bike is also much cooler (temperature) to ride than my 2010. Small radiators definitely remove quite a bit of hear.

Ok, a stock, lean running bike has more power then a tuned bike with cams.....Put the orange Kool Aid down and back away.....

I'm not sure I understand you.
So it's yes to all the motor sounds and the clunking and hard to find neutral and still has neutral rattle,that don't sound so good. But it's yes to more power, that is good. Have I got it right?

Have not heard any neutral rattle (none on my 12 either)
Clunk still there, but have got used to starting last bike in 1st so I did not have to hear the clunk. Or, if you roll the bike back a bit before you engage, there is very little noise.
Have never found it hard to find neutral on any bike. Just a little tap with the heel shifter.
Much, much, much more power!! Last one had stage one. I am leaving this one stock. Happy with power. Never had problem with heat (but I live in Canada, eh!)

Power is good for stock. But if this is all the SE. 255 cams have I dont get it what am I missing? I think at the onset it will hang with my 96 with 555 woods cams but I think IMO. but not a fact because I have no way to test. The 96 with 555 cams will pull away from my 14 street glide no problem when Rpms start getting up around 4k + and the numbers at tbis point do not add up from the little info thats been put together. But the best part about it is this bike is good out-of-the-box and very enjoyable to ride. All I have done is put S&S slip on mufflers on it that I took off my 10 SG. In every way I like this 14 street glide better than I did my 10 street glide. The finish on it's better the chrome on it's better fit seems to be better, handles pretty good. I am not sure yet if I'm going to put cams in this one or not I don't know I'm a let it play out for the next 6-8 months and see how it goes.
