I just bought a 2003 Screamin Eagle 100 year anniversary pearl white with a 103 CVO engine with a six speed and just over 38,000 miles in perfect condition. I did a lot of research on the engine via your tube and it is confirmed this is my engine.
I got a 2016 Ultra Limited with the 103 that I bought new. It has 10800 miles on it and I have had no issues at all.
I did a 95 inch upgrade with Andrews cams on my former 2005 Road King Classic and that motor had great power more than enough for American roads. Now I have a 18 RK Special with a stock 107 M8 and it is more than enough power. In the future Harley may start coming out with smaller ci motors with turbo's on them just like they are doing now on cars with the 6 cylinder turbo's and ecoboost motors. I personally like straight up V8's in my cars but with MC's it wouldn't be a bad Idea to have a smaller cubic inch motor with a turbo on it to make the motor last longer with less maintenance and more speed and torque as long as the turbo and the motor is done right.
Man I love how you start your rides of with the good word!!!!
One of the main reasons I watch his reviews.
I have a 2016 twin cam 103. I love it. Only complaint is how hot it runs, and having to eventually deal with the twin cam chain tensioners. I just plan on replacing them around 30 to 40K. It’s at 19K now. Very happy.
are there any warning signs for the tensioners? I'm at 18k now
@tmvandenbroek not really. My 2010 ultra had 105k miles on it when I tore it down for a 107 stage 3. Cam tensioner shoes were finished by my standards, bike ridden far but lightly. Now... not so much 😂
The M8 has plastic tensioner too.Its just easier to replace and I think S n S is coming out with a gear drive for the cam too.
The gear drive has its issues also if the crank has any runout beyond their needed specs.
I took my 2011 Ultra Classic in to have the oil changed and the Cam Chain tensioners inspected at 30k as per the internet. They were as good as new. In fact the whole bike and everything in it is running perfectly. The only thing that really bugs me is that I have lost my "Blues Brothers" CD. News like this doesn't make much of a headline though.
I feel your pain brother
I just bought a 2011 SG 103. The first year the 103 released, but it was a special order option. Only 9400 original miles. I love it!
It’s interesting to me that in most opinion’s people love the 103 & my words to my wife is “I love my 16’ Road King, BUT I wish it was faster” lol!! But very pleased overall with my 103.. Thanks for video, beautiful bike.
A 103 SG will always be faster than a 103 RG.
'15 stage IV road king, 110 big bore kit, mva heads, 58mm TB, 255 cams, true dual catless Vance$ Hines.. a monster when I need it.
Sweet, I have a low mileage 2005 SE Electra Glide. It has a 88ci engine board out to a 103 from HD.
I’ve found it difficult to see through the 12” windshield on my ultra classic while riding in the rain. Swapped to a shorter 8.5” klock werks. I’m 5’10” I like it. Thanks for the video.
Im an avid rider. I keep referring back to old reviews. I have to tell anyone out riding right now. The 2016 earlier dyna 6 spd has more balls off the floor than a new milly 8. Yes the suspension is better but the bikes got smaller and the front end could always use some 41s.
I'm still riding 03 standard 88 cui upgrade to 95 5 speed bought it new In 03 100000 miles on bottom end replaced tensioners 3 times each at about 35000 ,runs arong still but was looking at 2013 roadglide 103 cui with 6500 miles on it for 12000 gs seems like a good deal clean bike just want to make sure the 103 is reliable.
Its winter here in michigan darn i cant ride. Just watch videos. But i enjoy them too. Bikers bring people together like no other . The nicest people
Just got a dyna low rider with the 103
I am in the market for a Harley and looking to buy this year...however I am afraid of the twin cam 103. The plastic chain tensioners wear and the fragments can clog the oil pump that results in sudden engine failure.....I am feeling the only way to stop this is to convert the motor to a gear driver instead of chain driven cams....and also upgrade the oil pump. .
I am encouraged to hear you know of some of these have 80-100K and still run. this is the first time I have heard this. I appreciate your feedback. my bike of choice would be 2017 breakout
Thomas Elisseou Srk cycles has said that you need to do that gear conversion on these bikes and it is not that expensive to do.
Gear drive conversion is a $1500 investment. My choice is to replace the tensioners periodically. A good Harley dealer knows when this needs to be done. Once the exhaust is removed its not a comlicated job you could probably do yourself
ez to change.stay away from chicom parts that wear like butter in a hot skillet.
Just change them out every 15k.The only mistake Harley did was not include them in the service schedule as a regular maintenance item.
Are you serious !!! Bla ha ha ha ha good maintenance and you would probably get a hundred thousand miles before anything wore out
I have a 2012 FLHX with 30,869 miles. Stage One, great bike, no issues.
I have 64k on my 103 and it runs like it’s brand new
Any issues?
@@Eidrian111 I had a clutch issues but warranty fixed that.
Never take a bike review seriously, when it comes from the guy trying to sell it to you!
He has atrocious riding habits, too.
Sure, from a guy that's been doing it for a long time, and is telling you how great a bike with 3k miles is, what did you expect, he was going to saying was a POS?
It is very sad how some people buy an expensive motorcycle just to be seen on it. And only seen around where they live considering the mileage accrued.
Looks like 4 years later his channel did well. How's your boring ass 9 to 5 going? 🤣🤡
Bought a 2012 dyna fat bob last spring with a 103 had 17k miles on it got it for 10500 love the 103s
How much. 2012. Ultra. Classic. 103 pearl white 3000 miles. ?
the tensioners should have been described as a regular service item in Harley owners manual.Gear drive drive necessitates checking pinion runout .Eventhe Milwaukee 8 has a plastic tensioner.A better but more expensive would have been spring loaded tensioner pulley on the twinky.Harley could just as easily built a 4 cylinder v 4 ,liquid cooled fuelinjected engine like the Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe.I ride a 2005 Eglide cvo and check my tensioners every 20k clicks.
My 2005 Screaming Eagle CVO Electra Glide has 267 thousand Kilometers with one top end rebuild on the 103 stroker.
I liked my 103" Street Glide. The compensator only lasted about 6,000 miles, so I had to get used to tearing in to the engine every year (on a 1 year old bike) to keep it running. Yeah Harley!
Has this remained true since you posted this? I ask because I bought a 2013 at 32k and have about 54k on it and have only had to replace the voltage regulator. Compensator has held up.
@@TheTwoWheeledTeacher I’m not sure. I sold that bike years ago.
I had my windshield trimmed at eye level at a glass shop for 20.00
What do you think between the Harley 107 road glide vs Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero which one seems better?
The Vaquero is really nice, but its slow compared to the Harley. Seat was very uncomfortable on the Vaquero as well. Best riding bike for the money though(upgraded the seat to an aftermarket seat) . If you don't have to have a Harley then I would definitely test ride one.
They are not in the same class Sir, if you buy a Harley at a decent price you can get your money back out of it a Kawasaki just drops in value.
My Heritage has the 103 and a 6 speed
Can a Harley-Davidson be reliable????
Wow your inventory keeps changing. When do you have time to research, travel, test and buy all these bikes? Good for bike consumers.
Currently between a 2020 Roadster or a Dyna
Had a 96 back in 08 and a friend of mine had a 103 - he would flat walk away from me
Never forgot that - just got a dyna with a 103 - it scoots !!
Have a 2012 SG 103 no issues. New plugs, oil, and just put in a BDL extra plate clutch. Smokes my friends 111 Indian. Friend has a new HD M8 has been in the shop twice in the last 90 days, engine issues and electrical issues.
That’s bull shit I have friend with that 111 Indian and the 103 cannot smoke the 111 Indian it’s the rider
@@johnarmstrong2593 let’s race.
Love to see it I’ve ridden every thing but the 107 and 114 and and I only worked on Harley’s and I ride two honda the 114 I bet would give the Indians a run for it money , but Harley has no answer for the changer
Throw a stage 2 on it with some 555 cams then its realy fun
I never received any notifications from this site since I subscribed six months ago ?
My motorcycle is 2003 FLHTCUI
Like windshield, not so much fairing.
Beautiful Harley. I have a 2014 ultra limited and love it. I also have a roadglide limited love that to.
continuing with my research I found out that my engine is a stage 4 build special order build in Decalb Illonios by Peterson and Harley
sometime orig owners do a poor job of documenting significant upgrades. My 08 ultra classic has a 103 with cam work and V&H pipes and the big intake. it was suggested to me it has a stage two set up with out any documentation or receipts kept.
my friends bike made it to 71000 miles and needed a overhaul.now he got a 103 year 2010 and only made it 45000 and oil ran all over the engine while stopped at a stop light.
Not only that, he has a dumb friend who posts stupid posts on youtube videos with absolutely no information.
I never unlike a vid but this literally didn’t talk anything about the 103 as the title says..
2:45
Watching this while I own a 103 fat boy 😅
A hundred thousand miles and it still felt tight.... Yea thats what she said .. Jp
Nobody forced you to watch...just sayin
The 103 is a good engine
You got a balance chain in the case for the crank yeah two timing chains and all the guides and too much maintenance that's why Harley went back to a single cam
11 ultra came with a 103
If I didn't already have a 2012 Softail Heritage Classic, 103, I'd think about visiting my sister in Md. From there, I'd come visit you. ^AHEM^
FYI you don’t ‘Drive’ a motorcycle you ‘Ride’ it
Do you still have this bike I’ll buy it now
I am totally following and totally enrolled in the email updates. If you pick me for the motorcycle give away I will quit my job and drive it all over the Continental US and clog the whole thing. Honestly.
Vlog***
You drive a car - you RIDE a motorcycle..paint that bike a real color and get aftermarket exhaust, it sounds like sewing machine.
Might be a Shriner bike.
Great review, but please wear some gloves man!!
I am looking HD trike
Pretty sure that was 500 feet
looks like it might be leaking oil already. look we're it was parked
It's part of the charm
@Brian tel, You're a little bit slow aren't you Friendo? That spot would have to have been made by squirting oil out of the rear saddlebag.
@@rgh622 just remember it's a Harley Harley any power Harley any technology Harley any performance the name speaks for itself and the bike leak oil after only 40000 miles
You're a tall guy.... How do you get comfortable on a Harley ? They're so cramped to me, and I'm 6'3"...
I agree with you. I am also 6'3" and I find Harleys to cramped. Especially their touring line. Test riding an Indian this week. Fingers crossed. (I currently ride a 2012 Honda Interstate which has tons of room for me, but at 1300 cc it lacks power.)
Depends on the bike.... I'm 6'6" and own a wide glide, fits me almost perfect stock. I put a new seat and mini apes on it and is now perfect. Most if the touring line required way too much modifying for my height, with the exception of the road king.... but the wide glide was 10k cheaper
Jayson Leavelle you have to learn how to ride
Tad over 6'2" here. Bought a 17 Road Glide Ultra. Added the Twin Peaks Bars and the Road Sofa seat. The stuffing added another inch-inch 1/2 and made it a good fit.
Handlebars and seat make a big difference. I put the 12" yaffe bars and a seat on my 2011 Street Glide with the rider backrest. I'm 6'1 and it fits me perfect.
You drive a car, you ride a motorcycle.
Remember all comments are true that I said wake up and see the light
Nah...I've had a couple of Harley's...sold 'Em both.., over rated, overpriced. Next bike a Honda, Kawasaki, or Yammie.
Dude you guys are expensive
Sweet sweet SWEET!
The cops who do the demonstration rides, shave down the fork stops to be able to do those very tight turns.
No they don't, they just know how to ride
the 103's have a pressed together flywheel that is failing and causing total engine failure, sean is no harley mechanic, just google the issue of harleys, the new ones i mean from 07 to now are bad
Anything from 06 and earlier has tensioner issues...anything 07 and later has compensator and pressed flywheel issues....the Milwaukee 8’s are having oil pump issues or something like that...
I’ve had 2 Harleys .... 96” and 103”...thousands and thousands of miles with zero issues...get on em’ and ride people...the twinkies are solid engines
Go away brother
The crankshaft runout is terrible. They increased the measurement to .010 max on the 103. Not good!
And it's still air cooled 1970 technology and will need a overall at 70000 miles and 70 hp and over priced
You never owned one I can tell!
@@boclark8059 a friend of mine has one never again he said
@@briantel9432 again you have never owned one or even ride one, one friend lol!
Owned Suzukis, Hondas, and Kawasaki’s. On my second Harley and won’t ever own anything but a Harley again.
nice
It's not a real Japanese bike, but not a particularly bad imitation.
Pat Kittle of course it’s not a kitchen appliance
Nice ride for sure, in all honesty the 103 and the 96 are so close. You would never feel any difference between the 2. If you say you do, your probably young and dumb
I thought this was a bike video and dude starts with that hocus pocus bs
this guy talk too much about absolutely nothing.in 10 minutes he gave info that could have been covered in maybe 1 to 2 minutes.
But I'd rather have an Indian scout
Then why don't you? You're not a motorcyclist, you're a pedestrian. You live with your mom.
