Buddy has a 06 Heritage with carb. My bike flat out kicks his. We even switched bikes and he could not believe the difference!

Can't say much for the 96" but my 110" kicks ***. 115ft/lbs of torque out of the box - What's not to like.


Can't say the same for my 06 SG.

It is far better than I was anticipating. Grins all the time.

Definate difference. More cubic inch = More power in any motor.

The motor is great, really great. But the sorry *** transmission or what ever is causing the problem ruins how great this bike is. If they get the transmission problem fixed this bike will be the one to have.

Had an '04 Heritage with carb. My new '07 Road King is a lot stronger motor especially for highway use. We'll have to wait and see about durability.
