Watching the weather real close. I'm hoping for maybe next Tues. or Wed. I'll PM you as soon as I know so we can meet and shoot the breeze!
Regarding the original post, I LOVE my bike the way it runs now. To me this is the way it should have come from the factory at least. But then again, I'm just a n00b on this horsepower stuff. Still crapping yellow in my diapers whereas most have already done the deed and gone bigger. I'm a slow learner.

Ummm... can you say... 117?
HAHA!
I had my crank redone this time around... so if I want to go bigger in a few years, out goes the 106, in comes the 117.
Bigger gets expensive, because the crank WILL need to be addressed on your next bump up in power.
I did custom crank by R&R; ported heads by Big Boyz; Andrews 54s; S&S 106 BB kit (like your SE BB kit); timken bearing by Hyperformance; SE compensator; TTS; VPC clutch head with SE clutch spring; I have a LOT of $$$ in this small build, and maybe THAT can keep your jets cooled. $6k and I did the assembly. Truthfully? I really should have spent $1000 more and had my cases bored and bought an Axtel cyl set for a 117.
Get a S&S 124 power kit; or maybe do a HQ 117. either way, you will have to address whatever crank you end up with.
You are correct on one thing fo sho... a 103 with 255s and more compression IS the way the should come stock. I TOLD you this is WAY more addicting that chrome and polish, didn't I??!!??)

if you like power going into the motor is like taking the first hit of crack -- too late -- your motor desires will only be limited by your wallet--
All my riding Buds have buillt motors my 107 is the smallest of the group.
The largest 126 S&S GS in a Road King (10k for the motor) the belt could not withstand the pressure - chain drive, he beats sports bikes on that thing -- it is nasty --
My next will be HQS 120 or S&S 124 -- collecting my pennies now.
I would like to find a 06 or older Ultra to do the next build on
