I have an 05 Ultra with Lehman Renegade, 103 CI engine with SE 203 cams, 5-speed tranny, fuel injected, V&H 4" slash cuts with inserts, and 21K on the clock. The cam was in the engine when I bought the trike.
On a recent trip to VT, the trike ran well on flat roads with reasonable acceleration, but lacked the stones to climb some of the steeper roads with the throttle just about wide open. Other trikes with the same engine, but different cams, passed me going up. On flat roads, the engine seems to run better at 2,000 RPM minimum whenever I am in 5th gear. The previous owner noted the same issue.
I heard more noise from the top end than I think is normal when I pushed the engine on hills. I think it is time to take a a look inside the cam chest. While it is open, I want to change the cams.
Any suggestions concerning the cam of choice?
While I am at it, I will change the lifters, too. From the noise I heard, I think they aren't pumping up at higher revs. Any recommendations? S&S?
AMS?
I will install new adjustable push rods, and upgrade with an RCC-2 cam plate that will bring all the interior goodies in the chest up to 2013 specs. Good idea or not?
From my research so far, I am considering a set of Woods TCW-6R cams per Bob Wood's recommendation.
Any yay's or nay's, or "are you nuts?" and if so, why?
