Cam questions
I run a S&S 510 in my bike and it has a broad RPM range of power. Idk how it will perform in the new 103 though. S&S has a great rep for good cam profiles so id read into them some. Everyone else gave good info too, I wouldnt go with the SE 211 though, I think thats a high RPM cam that doesnt come in to like 4k if i'm not mistaken. Dont know much about the SE cams though.
Hope this helps

I knew I was loosing power when I put the Samson's on, I am ok with it cause they look and sound sweet. I just want to get some of it back that I lost, which is why I want cams. It fell on its face with the stock pipes at 100 mph after I took the baffles out so I gained 5 mph with the Samson's, ac, and canned map I'm running.
I do want round town power more than freeway, but being that at 105mph I was only spinning 3500 rpms or so in 6th I figure a low end torque cam would get me a littler faster, not that I need it, lol.
Either way I sent an email to fuel moto about the TW222 cams since their Dyno sheets look nice for what I want. I have to look at more though before I pull the trigger so.

Also, does anyone know if the 05 TC88 bearing puller and installer works on the TC103? I emailed George's garage about it. They list different part numbers for the tools but I can't see any difference. I hope there is not one so we can split the costs

Few bolt in cams will give U a good bottom end TQ that goes all the way across the sheet if U want to do over 100mph.
IMHO U need to look at some Woods cams to get what Ur talking about and then match the compression and head work as needed to make her really Rock..

Small winter projects at a time for now, but I tend to get full into things so I'm sure this'll have a big bore kit and a major head work done to it, lol.
Georges garage said no go also. He said I can order the install kit for the 88 and then just the inner bearing pilot for my 103 but would need seperate pullers for each bike. Which kinda sucks

Save your money and put a smaller front drive sprocket which will raise the RPMs and give a more reasonable gear ratio and cost a whole lot less money. Andrews makes one under 150.00 don't drop more than 2 teeth and use the same belt.

Have U looked through the Dyno threads in here.
U can see the sheets and what cams were used and where the TQ/HP is of other members builds in here.
there's a thread in the touring and softail section.. link below.
spend a little time and see what results U like and want, then look to see what they did to get it.

I have read through most of it. I looked at several manufacturers sites with Dyno sheets and really like where the torque comes in on the 222s so I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on them in the next day or so. Unless you guys know a reason not to
