I have been told by several people that I would be better off buying a new 2009 road glide (96ci) and having a stage 2 103ci upgrade, instead of a 2009 cvo road glide with a 110.
I've also been told that the stage 2 103, runs better, more performance and alot less problems. SO MY Question is, is this a bunch of bull or is it true??????????

 

I can tell you my 103ci will pull me of my Rocker C seat.
Its got 91 Hp + 102 Torque. Plus it is smooth.
I was told this upgrade will not put a lot of stain on my engine.
I hav not had any problems.
It is very fast, I am sure it will bury the Spedo - 120mph

 

I found my 103 SG to be quite and bit stronger than my buddies CVO 110 Ultra

 

I was steered toward a 103 motor and mine came out just over 100 HP and 100 TQ. I could not be happier with the performance of my ultra.

 

Good question and answers as I, too looking at this option. Not everything on a CVO is the right "bling" for me.

 

09 CVO Road Glide is a very nice bike and you'll never make an 09 Road Glide look near as nice in my opinion. However, I happen to believe that the 2010 CVO Street Glide will have the same rear section (fender, cadallac tail lights, etc.) as the 09 CVO RG.

So, on to the motor. The 110's had a issues when they first came out however, it seems they've finally got a handle on that with the 09's. That's based on what I read on the CVO forum.

Power wise, I was surprised that they didn't have more power, stock. No, I don't have a 110" CVO. Mine is a 103" CVO and it has Vance & Hines Pro Pipe, FCC gear driven cams and an Arlen Ness Big Sucker, HD Race Tuner and Fueling Rivera oil pump and it pumps 104 HP and 113 TQ.

I ride with a few of the guys with 110's and with similar mods they're where I'm at or a little above.

A stock 103" (CVO) and a 96" motor that's built to 103" are not the same motor. Know that, going in. Look in the dyno thread and you'll not see a 96" that's been built to 103" with the same mods as mine pumping the same numbers.

I'd just suggest that you wait till 2010 unless it's a Road Glide that you're bent on. In that case, go over to the CVO forum and look in the selling section......I think there are a couple of 09 CVO for sale already. Might find a heck of a deal there.
