se 204s do well in lighter bikes and come alive 2800-3000 rpm se203s will give you more low end torque thay kick in at around 2000 rpm . both are bolt in cams I went with s&s 509 cams and love the 2000-4000 sweet spot. doent limit yourself to only looking at se cams call other manufacturers tech lines and be honest about your riding habbits

My good buddy Pat has a Blackline 103" stock motor with Andrews 57s, he's very happy. They are supposed to be a torque cam on a bigger motor but his 103 picked up 9ft-lbs and 18hp. Sounds good too. End result was 98ft-lb and 95hp I believe

Default S/E 211 cam shafts

1 cam shafts

these work extremely well with a bone stock 103 engine..after installing full header it helped it but it made amazing power and sound while bone stock..then after having bike tuned these make more power than the 585 cams... dont let people tell you what they think it should or shouldnt do..buy those cams and install them, i promise you will smile from ear to ear for a long time especially when firing it up, these cams lope really good..

Situation: 2008 Night Train. My motor was upgraded from 96 to 103. I was unaware of what exactly was done. I only knew that this bike was faster than my stock '14 Breakout. Either way, I just blew the piston on rear cylinder. Taking it apart, I now realize what work was done, and that it has SE Pistons (says STD on front cylinder piston) and SE211 Cams. Also, there was a small SE Tuner box under the seat that had connector fittings that were plugged into the injectors. So, my goal is to get my bike back running again. I am oversees, and Harley says they do not sell the parts individually, that I need a whole new kit. All I need is pistons, rings, pin, clip, gasket. Jugs are in good shape, just need slight honing. I am replacing the rear cyl head with a used one, as piston pieces are driven into the metal. Then, cleaning both cyl heads, lap valves, change valve seals, so they are ready for install. Question: S&S Sells the "Hot Set Up 103" piston kit (3-7/8") and my cams are staying the same (SE211). Am I going down the wrong road by changing pistons, and keeping the SE Cams? Currently Spending $350 on parts, rather than entire SE Kit which is $1,080 plus shipping.

i still have my SE 211 cams in my engine which i wouldnt trade for any other unless i did a big piston kit which would require more Cam to get its full potential, which the dyno on the SE 211 shows it at 114hp 127 lb.ft. torque, its the Stage 4 upgrade so it has heads pistons and cams from SE, i have a SE clutch basket and clutches as well.... I am very pleased with the power.. VS the build before with the 585 lift cams made 98 hp and 11- lb. ft. torque
