Not only are there HD Dealers, but others that offer similiar type of packages.   Do you know which throttlebody your dealer is talking about?  Is it for cabled or FBW ?

that must be the kit he's talking about, but would it be ok for everyday use, town and country riding
Title: Re: 103 S E stage 4 kit

If this is a bagger, I would suggest a different cam.  If it is a dyno or light bike it would probably be ok.   If you are looking for stump pulling you may have to change the configuration a bit.

It is streetable, but depending on the bike may not be favorable riding depending on your style.

An Example might be to take your 103 heads send them to a porter, new lifters depending on how many miles on the ones you have, buy a cam the porter tells you and with the pistons they recommend and the depending on year get the throttlebody needed.   If it is FBW then you are stuck atm with Harley's. 

What year bike do you have?   What type of bike do you have?   What is your riding style?

As an example my wifes bike is a 103 with a horsepower inc 53 mm, flat top pistons, heads done by Al Redman  10.25 to 1 with manual compression releases, Freedom yb13 Cam, factory HD lifters and a K&N air filter and rineharts and this 103 turns 117/115.   It is not a monster out of the hole by choice.  Michelle does not do holeshots and will only play while rolling on so this is the best of both worlds and she gets around 37 mpg avg.   The build has almost 25k miles on it and has been problem free.

 i was thinking of buying a 09 rg and putting this kit in it,.... i got a 103 seeg now, but it don't have a lot of zip like this kit offers
Title: Re: 103 S E stage 4 kit
Post by: Unbalanced on December 11, 2008, 07:46:13 PM
without mincing words this kit is umm not so great.   80 torque at 2500 is nothing.   As far as the 09 Roadglide there are many better combinations for a heavy bike like that other than this setup.   This is a top end runner and not such a great combo at that.   I think if you take a look at the guys who have 103's and installed just the zippers cams 575 they were looking at 112-115 torque and around 100-105 horsepower and the power is instant on with stock compression.   I think the only draw back is a little bit of noise from the gear drive and ramping of the cam in the valve train still not bad by any means.

Again if I were you, I would pick up a setup of stock heads off Ebay, have the work done on them, put in a matching cam without auto compression releases (they seem to come loose no matter what HD tells you), run a 50 or 58mm fbw throttlebody, flat top piston and move on down the road. 

Hell if you were stuck on HD parts, buy the kit they offer under the understanding that you are not using the 260 cam and build the 103 and put a 204 or 251 cam in it since it is a bagger and enjoy the ride, even with the 110+ heads I would have the heads looked at for intake and exhaust port cleaned up, possible swirl, multi angle valve job, matching intake to porting, manual releases vs. auto's, and flat top pistons.

To answer the original question, yes the cruise control works with this kit.  I have it installed on my bike and have had no problems using the cruise...

Help keep me staight on this.

This is a Harley dyno run.  They use an engine vs a chasis dyno, so what you see on a dyno run will be several % lower.

Actually, that graph is from a chassis (rear wheel output) dyno.  Look at the legend on the right hand side of the graph.

The graph's Harley includes in their catalogs, regular and SE, are rear wheel output.  I've noticed over the years that the results they publish are similar to results from independent sources, so at least in these instances they seem to be providing straight info.

I put together a 2009 Street Glide with the Harley Stage IV. The bike now has 5K miles. Very Streetable. Dyno runs show 110hp/ 106tq- rear wheel output. The only thing the kit is lacking are the automatic decompression valves and harness'. No significant sacrifice to mileage. Ran 13.2 @ 102MPH in the 1/4. I absolutely love the kit (especially when it was purchased on a dealers 20% off day) The bike runs stock up to about 3000rpm then as it comes up on the cam it flutters for an instant then HANG ON. The kit is definitely top end but nothing lost down low. For the money I don't see how this kit could be beat. The shock value of watching a bagger bring the front end 1' off of the ground at 25mph and carrying it is priceless.

Personally I wouldn't go 10.5-1 with todays gas (if you can call it that).

I put together a 2009 Street Glide with the Harley Stage IV. .......Ran 13.2 @ 102MPH in the 1/4.

Not bad for a bagger I suppose.  My FXR4 with a Stage IV still just 80ci EVO (+ a couple tweeks, 2into1 V&H and Mikuni) ran a best of 11.94 @ 110.  Probably could have done a little better with additional tweaking as I was barely into 4th gear.  Rev limiter set at 6800 it would run 105 in third and bury the speedo in 4th gear with the original gearing.
