I'll believe it when I see it, until then it's just a rumor.

Holy crap! Did you recover from this? It looks like the front wheel is off the ground and locked up!

No way! It's a V-6 and it comes with radiator, seat belts and twin air bags. My dealer got one by mistake too. They tried to send it back, no luck.

Bummer is, without the 255 cams, the 103 really ain't that great. If they did the 103 jugs and kept the price the same, great. Something for nothing. If they did it and want to ding you another grand for it, it would suck.

In light of EPA getting tighter, I could also see them doing it, and moving away from engine upgrades. Just have the stock motor 103, and the cams get moved to strictly the Screamin Eagle "Race applications only" parts book.

I could also see them drop the EG Classic, and just keep the Limited and Ultra in the lineup. Maybe throw some extra chrome on the Limited, to better set it apart. I know in my area, you almost have to special order a EG Classic, since 95 percent of buyers in that segment just go for the Ultra.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did it, but it wouldn't surprise me if they DIDNT do it either.
Dont the US police bikes come as standard 103's?????
