HeyTim,
Welcome to the forum. I have the 95 Stage 2 in mine and I am very pleased with it. It has good usable power and torque and has been very reliable for the 12,000 miles I have put on it so far. I ride 2 up most of the time, and find that the 95 gives me all the power I need for both Interstate travel, and 2 lane highways. I have no 103 experience, so can't help there.

Welcome[sm=groupwave.gif] to the family. I really like that Street Glide myself[sm=smiley32.gif], I may have gone that way if the wife wasn't so attached to her Queen's Throne[sm=teetertooter.gif]!
What color is your beauty? Really, with a couple mods. that 88 will run real nice, but if you have to, BUILD IT!

Hi Tim, welcome from New Zealand. Why dont you ride it for a few weeks before you commit yourself, that way you will get a good idea of how it performs. Seems to me that you get the darn good bang for your buck outta Stage I.
