I just rode with a friend to Beale Street who was on his two day old 2012 SG. It was a 103" but had no compression release.
Bit of irony here...my '72 XS1 650 Yama had compression release. [11.5/1 heads, stock, megaphone pipes...w/ kick and 'lectric start, manual cruise control...dang I miss that old Yama...just saying..]

Default Tank you, tank you very, very much...

'I'm hoping to get the 110 as part of the Power Pack...if not - and it's just the security & ABS - I'm going to be canceling my order & getting a 2011 model for a better savings.

Looking forward to the rest of the model year 2012 details to see what's really what...[/quote]'

Hope you're not living out there at the Bagram air base in 'scorpion city', but thanks from us all and for whatever the hell you're doing over there.
I was in Kabul for a few months back in...she-ite, ugh...oh yeah, twas '02 I think.
'03 found me in Kuwait {right after I got outta Palestine} ordering a '03 Sporty in Atlanta which soon became a '05 Deluxe. {Time keeps on slipping, slipping...into the future}
Now you keep your head down and get the hades outta there soon.
And, oh yeh...watch out for those ten legged spiders. We used ta put 'em in a fish bowl with the scorpions to see who was the better fighter. Ugh, we didn't have television.

Thanks TB - I'm in Kabul @ Eggers but live in "relative" luxury in a safe house at the moment. May be going to Phoenix for the rest of my time here. Countin' down the days! And 1 more day to find out what HD has in store for the rest of the 2012's!
