  • Kuryakyn 103Ci Hop Up Part 2 Completed
    22. Here’s how the bike looked once completed. The chrome High-Five Mach 2 air cleaner adds some nice shine to the Charcoal Burgundy engine, and the flared-out Trident tips on the Crusher Mufflers give them a stout look. Upon firing the bike up, the owner really liked the mellow growl at idle. It was deep but not too loud. As he rode the bike for some break-in miles, he reported back that when he gets on it the pipes really sound good and let out a strong bark. To see/hear these pipes in action log onto hotbikeweb.com.

Kuryakyn 103Ci Hop Up Part 2 Dyno Chart
23. After breaking the bike in it was taken over to Anaheim-Fullerton Harley-Davidson where it was put through the paces on the dyno. The results were pretty good. The bike put out 106.78 hp and 107.24 lb-ft of torque. What’s really nice is from about 3,200 to 5,300 rpm the bike has a nice torque curve at or above the 100 lb-ft mark. Essentially we’re seeing exactly what Küryakyn claimed: good streetable power with a nice broad torque curve. As for the owner, he was definitely happy with the outcome and says the bike has really woken up.
