Default SE 255 in a 2017 Heritage

So, Last Monday I droped my Bike off at my local HD to have SE 255 cams put in, On Wednesday they called and said it can't be done....
Then they tried to sell me a 110 kit....
I call BS....What say you.

Bs. Nuff said. Unless you bought the cams for a 2000-2006 softail in which case then it can't be done

Why are you messing with that cam when there are so many better ones on the market?

If I'm not mistaken the 2017 stock cams are close to the 255's.

If it's a high output model they are very similar cams and you're not really going to gain anything. There is a little more to the story than what we are hearing. There always is

I heard the same thing. The stock cams in a 2017 Heritage are really close if not the same as SE 255 cams.
