I am curious what the power (low end mostly) is like on the 96 stock Road King, vs. a stock 88. I sold my 03 RK Classic to my brother and wonder if I get a new 08, will it be much hotter? I had a Stage 1 done on my 03 and had D&D Slip-ons and that thing was pretty sweet. It would blow away my brother in laws stock RK.

So.. what do you think.....

Thanks.

 

A 95CI kit on a Twin Cam 88CI will run circles on the new 96CI and you don't have a heat problem and no EPA JUNK!

 

I dont know about that! Depends on whos wheelin it. Wanna run em????

 

Glyder,

SoCal is right. I have a stock 88", Stage 1, and pipes (for right now). My buddy rented a Stock 96". The 96" was better but not by that much. Look in your P/A catalog and the HD SE 103" dyno sheet shows mid 80's HP and low 90's TQ. Then go to head quarters website and their 95" kit. Itis showing 110HP/115TQ. You can bea wheelin' mo fo, but you won't keep up with that.

 

I've been on two different 2007 UC's and I swear my 88" w/stage 1 is more responsive. I wasn't impressed with what I felt out of the two I've been on. Only thing I have to go by is my butt dyno.

 

Comparing stock for stock, or Stage ? for Stage ? is the only fair way to compare them. Everything elseis apples and oranges.

 

well if you actually look HD SE states that the output with just the 103 Kit will be 105 and 103,I have just Cams and I am getting over 94tq and 84hp on my 96

 

I dunno about all the stats and specs but most of the guys I ride with have 88" and they can't touch me.

 

Theres not a lot of difference but the 96 is stronger. Put a tuner of some kind on it and it'll haul ***, especially with the rev limiter jacked up. I gotta v/h fuel pack on my 88 with tru duals and a good breather. My brother has the same deal on his 96 with a power commander and His bike is stronger. It'll run 100 in 3rd gear. not that he does that stuff all the time . my 88 without the rev limiter being changed will run about 82- 85 in third before it hits the limiter. Having the rev limiter extended is a big help on these things

 

I would sure hope to hell that a 96" with just Stage1 would eat up a 88" stage 1. They have pretty much the same top end.
