Default SE heads on 08 SG

I've got an 08 SG with a 96 ci motor that I'm putting a 107 kit on. I'm looking at putting a set of SE heads on it and was wondering if a set with the -11 casting number will fit. Have a chance to pick up a set at a reasonable price just not sure they'll work.

Any thoughts?

Which begs the question; which ones are you looking for?

Wanting to put better heads on my 107. No one around here does port/polishing on Harley heads. Looking for SE heads that will bolt onto my 08 motor. Not sure if all SE heads will fit/work or if I have to go by certain years/casting numbers.

Looking at SE 255, Woods TW222 or Feuling 574 cam. Using stock TB with true duals and either Reinhardt or Basanni exhaust. 103 style air cleaner. Looking at using roller rockers, S&S pushrods and lifters. Possibly Feuling oil pump and cam plate, not sure yet.

I think you'll find the best option is to ship your heads to someone for porting.
