I ran Head Quarters 034's in my '02 Heritage. Great all around cams pulled hard from down low thru. Check them out www.protwin.com. They also have forum if you and questions.

From what I have researched. The SE203 was designed for 88" motors and the SE204 was designed for 96". Regardless, from what I have understood the SE204's do a good job with stock heads of pulling the most throughout the RPM range. I will 2nd the fact that beyond 4000rpm, SE255's seem to really drop off on the pull.

I have one bike with the SE255's, and the low end is great while it drops off after 4k.

I have the Andrews 26's in the bike that is in my signature. I'm very pleased with the power band and the slight idle lope that it produces. Also of no minor significance I have NOT needed Compression Releases and have something like 9,000 miles on this build with absolutely no issues what-so-ever.

i have se203's in my stock 96" fatboy. 89.22 hp and 98.5 tq better sound, runs cooler, minimal drop in fuel economy and a generally smoother ride. in love with the bike all over again.

Another good one to consider is the Wood TW-555. I've read nothing but glowing reviews on this cam and it has the best torque curve I've seen yet. I just installed them in my bike, but haven't had the chance to try 'em out, yet (waiting on a cam sprocket spacer from the dealer).
