A friend of mine bought a new Tri Glide and it has the 103 motor and all he can get out of it is about 65 MPH. Is this normal? Harley told him he just needed to break it in.

Don't forget the $500.00 additional dollars for a race tuner, plus dyno time with a real tunner not the HD Shop canned map jockies.
If you change air cleaner, pipes etc. the above is the only way to truely tunne the bike, no stored HD map will work, as all motors are different, a 103 is not a 103, each different, individual tunning is the only to truely tune a motor.
I have seen a family member of mine that was ready to sell his 96inch street glide because it quit at 80 miles and hour, but you would have to steal it from him after a real tunner was done with it, 18 more hp and 20 ft lbs of torque after tunning and better gas mileage as a bonus.

My 2010 Tri Glide runs fine at all speeds and can go past 65 with no problem. It really likes the cooler air temps and runs even stronger. Sounds like you have issues with your Tri Glide,sounds like the dealer needs a clue and listen to there customers.
There will be no bogging down if you do this.

BTW...
The old SEPro Tuner, the one that you could use to modify your ECM calibration yourself or use for a Dyno tune, is no longer available. HD has stopped selling in at most dealerships. Now there is a new product called the SE Street Performance Tuner or SEStreet for short. I believe it is a part number 41000008. Screamin' Eagle® Street Performance Tuner Kit | Genuine Motor Accessories | Harley-Davidson USA
This new SEStreet tuner will not allow you to load any calibration except for HD Street Legal calibrations. The owner of the bike can't do the flash anymore, you must take it to a dealer who has a USB key token in their possession. The digital technician can't be used by the dealerships anymore to flash to the ECM, you must have the SEStreet tuner and the token. There is no possible modification or tuning allowed with the SEStreet tuner.
So, for you guys that want your dealer to upgrade your ECM calibration... well, read between the lines and start thinking TTS or PCV with auto or the TMax with auto.
If you use the TTS the first thing you do is save your factory calibration to your computer. Save this calibration if there is a need to put it back in. It will leave no trace that the TTS was used for tuning purposes.
If you use the PCV, you simply and physically remove it from your ride again leaving no trace.
While going to SD this past summer I ran 80 mph all day long until I ran into some head winds. The trike ran out of breath. Wide open was about 72 mph.Ive had my 09 TG up to 92mph still had more to go. Did not want to get pinched going that fast. Can run 80mph all day long in 6th gear. I like to run 65-70mph in fifth.
Okie - I just bought a 2011 and have about 750 miles on it. With my wife and me on the bike it ran up to 90 with no problem at all. It is not as strong as my 07 Electraglide with a 110 motor, but then it does weigh about 400 pounds more too. I have dumped the original mufflers and installed Reinharts which did make a difference, but 65!? No way!
On another post some were complaining that the trunk pops open while driving. Mine did too so this weekend I adjusted the latch - it can be adjusted for and aft as well as up and down. Works fine now.
