The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

 one of my buddys has and 07 wide glide with a headquarters 103 and i cant even come close to keeping up with it would a 110 kit even get me close??

What is a headquarters 103?

 are you stock now? What all did he have done?  How much money do you want to spend because he can always get more and cheaper parts

your bud probably has engine mods he's not telling you  about because stock for stock you should have dusted his a$$ either that or you have a banana stuck up your tail pipe

+1. 

One could say you have a "headquarters" 102. Tell us more about the situation.

 Injeck is right the 103 is a custom mod for the engine, I think it is a stroker type kit with valve adjustments.  If you are running stock, yeah he might have it for you. My recomendations is to get a custom pipe and computer, perfectly calibrated, that alone should be a very good surprize for your buddy. Also, I read somewhere you can work your gearing up a little to gain more top end.  I just got my bike, and I'm still waiting for the technical manual, so I'm not that very knowledgeable on this particular bike. Iupgraded from a Vulcan 800, yes a girls bike, but it was modded extensively  :)

Before I bought the Warrior, I was thinking on gettng a Dyna Wide, after ridding it, I was very disapointed, they are hogs, with all specifications associated with  that name, big, fat and slow. 

I'm still breaking in  my bike, so I do not know it's full potential, but by reading this forum, convinced me on getting my Warrior, so i know you are fast, just let the Force flow through you, Do or Do not, there is no try...

Exactly?? What is this guy talking about?  Also a H-D stock 103 motor is nothing special, you should be able to keep up with it no problem.  You must be 100% stock with your Warrior. With my '04 with slight mods, Pipe, A/C, PCIII I was able to keep up with most any H-D. The only ones that gave me any problem were the V-Rods, now with my '06 with the Patrick Racing drop in pistons, cams, pipe, PCIII, and Bigair I can take them out as well. How mush do you weigh? Maybe it's you, not the bike

speed shifting will also give you the edge i raced my brother on his identical modded warrior a few years ago, he weighs about 20 more lbs than me, i speed shifted he did not, i left him starring at  my tailight the whole way , he knew there was no catching up to me and just gave up

 headquarters is a company out of canada that specializes in harleys mostly race apps.... he has raced and beat a screamin beagle 120 so it does run well i have bak pcIII and big shots pcIII had generic map for this set up in it still not even close he let me take off and he would hit the throttle and just come flyin right by me.... my brother has a raider with bak pcV and v&h 2into 2 and he got smoked too

OK, that explains it, thanks.  No matter what you have, someone out there will always have a bit more or a bunch more.

nebraskawarrior.. It sounds like you have the exact setup as I do.  I ran with a generic map for a while but then loaded AMOSPRO's map which I believe you can find in the downloads section.  I was BLOWN AWAY by the difference it made.  The bike had not been running near its potential the whole time and I had no idea until that first ride after re-mapping.  My "butt-dyno" could feel the difference big time.  Take-off, into 2nd, and into 3rd the increase in torque and power was obvious.

 Just my 2 cents, worth a try.

 it was on a chopper don't know if it was an aftermarket motor with screamin eagle heads or what but heads were def screamin eagle and had se intake ect... on it... i just want to be able to keep up with that thing....
