255's and Trikes

[Ed H]

Anyone running 255's in a 103 trike?

How do the perform?

Are you happy with them?

I have always run after market cams, I/E Andrews and Woods.

In order to maintain my warranty I need to stay with S/E.

The Andrews 57H is one hard pulling cam. From about 1800 rpm on it gets out like a home sick angel.

Woods 222 is a top end cam, go like hell, 80 in 5th and still one gear to go.

My tike is a 16 is not the HO engine so I am thinking it has stock 103 cams in it.

If it's a Tri, I believe it does have the HO engine. Not sure about the Freewheeler's

103

I’ve been running that cam in my 2010 trike for probably 6/more years, very happy with

it and no issues.

Dealer installed and they claim they will stand behind it.

My mileage varies considerably depending on WX and my throttle hand but I consistently

get mid/high 30’s per gal - I did get 41 several times on some long trips.

JMO - Go for it!

FWIW, I am more than happy with the performance of the stock internals on the 103 in my 2014 trike and I have no idea what cams are in it.

Years back I installed the SE255 cams in my '07 Ultra and it really woke that 96ci up, especially in the 2K-4K rpm range. So, when I went to the 2014 TriGlide I sort of had it in my mind that I might do the same. In it's stock configuration it sort of felt like somebody was choking it. But, after improving the stock 103's ability to inhale and exhale with bolt on stuff and a Power Vision, it has way more pull than my '07 ever had, even after the cams. I can accelerate up hills or pass and never run out of throttle, even pulling my Lees-ure Lite camper. Given the weight and drag differences between the trike and the bike, that impressed me.

IMHO, I wouldn't crack open the cam chest until you have done some of the easy stuff first. Talk to Kevin at DK Customs and he will definitely hook you up with some bolt on goodies that will improve your stock 103's performance. I suspect that you will be pleasantly surprised, as I was.

When I had my Heritage 96" I did Andrews 48's, talk about stump pulling Tq. Unreal, even two up and loaded for a trip she pulled her heart out for me.

I have already completed the stage one with S/E air and 4" Rhineharts that I took off my Ultra. I did the PC V due to my ignorance and inability to follow directions with computers. Fuel Moto will send me all the maps I need. The current

map is good for now.

I put Woods 222, Keith Dunn heads and Jackpot headers and mufflers on my wife's 2010 Tri and tuned it with a Power Vision and it runs awesome.

All Harley Touring/Trike models from 2014 thru 2016 have the HO 103 engine. Except for the CVO models, of course.

I have installed a SE air cleaner, V&H Power Duals headers, and V&H Twin Slash mufflers on my 2015 Tri-Glide. Tuned with a Power Vision and mapping from Fuel Moto. These mods have made a huge difference in performance. According to Fuel Moto's dyno charts, this set-up puts out more HP & TQ than a stock M8 107. I am quite pleased with the results.

The service manager at my dealership is a good dude. He says I can put in S/E cams and not worry about warranty. When I say "I" he will let me install them and still keep warranty. Other wise I would go with after mkt.

Good cam if you like top end. Really pull long and hard.

I prefer more stump pulling Tq
