+1 I had a 07 Streetbob with a stage 1. I was surprised how much power my RKC with stock 103 had. Feels stronger than the SB for sure!!

My '11 Ultra Classic with the 96 inch stock motor does not perform as well as my '08 Road Glide with the 103 inch Big Bore kit. But it's worth noting that the 103 inch kit came with the SE Intake and HD ECM Download, essentially a Stage 1 on top of the displacement increase . I suspect that when I add the SE Intake and Download to the Ultra Classic that the 96 inch motor will feel more responsive and more like the Road Glide.

I had a 10 EGC with the 96 and now have an 11 Limited with the 103. The 103 definitely pulls harder especially when accelerating in 6th gear and 2 up riding. I think the Limited with the 103 or the power pack upgrade on the other bikes is well worth the money.

Well almost all the riding I do is two up with my wife. Wonderful woman, but she does not travel light. :l. We are looking at a limited and I wondered if the extra power was noticeable or not. Good to hear it is.

I think it is very noticeable. I actually didn't like my 10 EGC very much because it was a dog. That's why I only kept it a year and traded for the Limited. For the $2,700 difference between the Ultra Classic and the Limited I think it's a no brainer.
