I'm running the progressive 2" lowering springs and Ricors. I've tried the Ricors with three different spring/damper/slider setups in the forks. Maybe I'm not discerning enough, but it's hard for me to notice any difference in the forks with the Ricors. Maybe a back-to-back ride on a bike with and without them would show me, but I'd probably save the money if I were to do it over again. While I love the look of a 2" lower front end, I'd also rather have a 1.5" lower instead to get a bit more travel (not sure a kit exists).

 

Thought I would post some pictures of my ride yesterday. Maybe the last of this year, man was it nice!

 

Boo nice riding weather. It snowed here last night, getting up to a high of 31*F. But that's okay, because I still haven't replaced my stock front gas tank bolt, so my tank isn't back on yet, and a part of my exhaust is still out for powdercoat. Mehhh.. long winter.

 

Whats up guys. I havnt posted in a while. Im looking for some cam information. What is everyone running in the 103 motor.

Im not looking for peak top end performance. Im looking for better low-mid range tq. for 2 up riding and better 6th gear cruising tq.

I dont plan on doing any top end head work or upgrading to a 107" kit.

Only mods are Vance & Hines Big Radius 2-2 and SE heavy breather. Power Vision custom dyno tune.

 

just put Woods TW-555's in my 107", but haven't had a chance to ride it yet. Check out the Woods TW-222's.. they're made for stock compression for the 96" and 103", and have most of their power in the low-end spectrum.

 

I'm about to pull the gun on the Cycle Rama 575 cams in my stock 103... From what I've read they're pretty good as bolt in cams. No headwork needed, but I'm also getting the adj. push rods. I've also talked with Wes from Cycle Rama who has been a great help. Right now all I have done is the D&D fat cat, SE AC, and I'm gonna get the SEPST and then have it dyno tuned to dial the cams in.

I've seen some dyno charts and they come on around 2500-3000 with basic stage one and last out to about 4500-5000 above 100 tq. Valve train noise is quiet compared to stock. Thats what I'm looking for. I also ride 2up on the weekends but during the week its solo.

Until I get them installed, dyno tuned, and seat of pants dyno, thats all the info I have for you.

 

Finally pulled the trigger on that nice speedo/tach from Harley with all the color combos. I plan on installing this thing on my 2011 myself. Is it truly a simple plug and play? I know the older ones required you to flash to the ECM to get the mileage and THEN install the thing. It's my understanding that this is no longer necessary and that you just hook the thing up and roll. Is this right?

 

Plug and play, its pretty easy, just make sure you have a couple of pocket screwdrivers handy to release the plastic clips. Make sure you have a nice soft rag to cover the tank. I did mine by myself but an extra pair of hands to hold onto the console while you do the clips is nice. All the info on the 11's is in the ECM the speedo is just a display piece. Good luck man.

 

Yep 100% Plug and play.

 

nice little upgrade looks good, i'm still on the fence about it, I like it I don't like it I JUST don't know lol,
