If I were to ever, I'd get a batwing fairing with a stereo, and get some hardbags like JoseWales has and still save money over a new bagger :'(
I do like the way the new bags open, with the latch in the back.. but if you tap on them, they don't even sound like fiberglass anymore..they sound like plastic now, which i know, they said about the fenders a year ago, but they really do.
but i haven't gotten to that point yet where i'd want a bagger.. not yet.. a few more years, or if a dump truck runs mine over in a parking lot (which i've had vivid dreams about several times..so im dreading it)

I've been thinking of doing some engine work over the winter. Anyone gone with a 107 bolt on big bore with cams, which would give me about 110lbs of torque. Torn between that or just going with a cam job to get about 10-15 more HP. All my buds got those new 103s and leaving me behind on our runs. LOL

Now, with that being said.. Depends on your budget.. there are a few cams out there that can give you plenty of power.. off the top of my head the Woods TW-222's are meant for stock 103"/96" builds and can get you close to 100tq.
But as they say...there's no replacement for displacement.

Congrats Captain, wait till your kids 22 and asking you for money haha. The govt shutdown is putting a cramp in my son's monthly college money. I always dug your bike. Yours was the first silver one on here. Can you tell me what diameter your apes are/were? They look killer. After a lot of headaches and goin back and forth with LA chprs, HCC, Wild 1 and Carlini, I've finally made up my my mind. I'm going with LA choppers. Getting a good look at your profile pics helped me decide. I appreciate any advice as to install. misbehavin your advice is also welcome...lol either one. My indi dude says I better be ready to fork out 1200.00 for bushings, wire extensions and 8 hours of labor...I said "dayum". Anyways, Many thanks and again, congrats L8r.

His new 13 Ultra with Stg1 and tuned and my 07 Stg1 and Andrews 26 cams.
from 40-75 mph in third, forth, and 5th gears. results was 3rd and 4th we stayed within a bikes length, in 5th I pulled him just a little at first then we stayed even..
So just saying a 96 with Cams and a good tune will keep up or pull ahead of a stg1 103.
Plus, the 26'H and Rush slip-ons I have are mild increases compared to some others cams and pipes.
My Son who was also on the trip has a 10 St Glide with 2-1, S&S 551 cams and a good tune walks all over me and the new 103's we rode with.
His bike just walked away from the other new bike we rode with that had stg1 and 255 cams, but just did a download, didn't do a dyno.
So with some good cams, good pipes and a good tune, that should let Ur 96''er keep up or every walk away from a 103 without cams. Throw in a good street port and U really move out them.
