Not only do they rule, but the pumpkins are still the fastestest !          

Since when are  's "Green"   

[Gettinold]

I would agree it might eat most pumpkins that is when it stays in gear  , although just not this one, but you already know that     

Harry must of woke up from his nap!

The SEEGs also had the most reliable motor to come out of the MoCo.....just a proven workhorse.  Not saying they didn't have any issues....the compensator was one of them.  Just a whole lot less issues trying to get the HP and TQ up to a reasonable number.

It seemed like we could just beat the hell out of those motors and still feel confident and safe doing a cross country ride.  That motor in an 09 and up touring chassis with the ABS brakes would be the ticket.  I mean the CVO 103" not the 103" that they're making today.

 I used to think so too JC, but my Jalapeno is at Jims for the second time in 3000 miles for complete top end . Got more miles from the 2006 than the 2005, first big internal damage came at 19k, the 2006 had 53k and was still running strong.

You pumpkin heads    - got mush for brains. 

If not, then you would all have red bikes, or the next best, a B&B

Too true.  Forgiving some weak chrome in 04 the best looking and far and away most reliable of the higher displacement CVO bikes that have been released.  Still rather have that 103 engine than anything Harley has done since.

I agree my "Ol Blue" had a few chrome issues but it was a great looking cvo that I should have never sold

I still have my huckleberry.   Can't get rid of it.  76k. Still running strong.    Like a brother to me

Dave,

"The 2006" now has close to 60k (would have more if I was around), and I love it. After the TTS tune it runs so damn good. Fully loaded, two up, in 95+ heat going up hills in Ojai, no more pinging. No leaks, tight as a drum, I am so pleased with it. And like the SEEG, the "Camel Hump", though not loved by all, only had a two year run.

In fact, I consider the '06 to be a one year run. The last of the 103s, no O2 sensors, and still throttle by cable. I know there were paint issues, but all in all I could not be happier.

Everyone talks about the 103 motor. Other than SE Heads, what are the major differences between the '04-06 engines and the current crop of 103s?

Mark,

There are plenty of wrenches here who know this better than I but here's what I know.  The 103's up to 2006 were bored and stroked Twin Cam (TC) 88's.  The 2007 and later 103's are bored (only) 96's  Thus, what was the difference between the 88 and 96?  The cylinders on a 88 and 96 are the same size.  In the 2007 to make the TC '96, HD moved the crank pin in the flywheels so that the length of the stroke is longer than the 88.  They also moved the wrist pin in the piston upward to accommodate the longer stroke and stop the piston from passing out the top of the cylinder.
