Thanks for the info.

I just bought a 2012 Ultra Limited with the 110 upgrade. Coming from a 2005 RK with the Stage One. I can't wait for warmer weather. Only been able to ride the bike around the block a couple times. From what I am being told it should be quite the change.

Do you notice any valvetrain noise?? I had the same kit put on my 2013 FLHTK anniv. and really like it, I just noticed more top end noise. The dealer said that was normal because of the heavier valve springs.
