I'm getting a 2011 Road King Classic, and to keep the warranty was going to have the SE 255 cams installed. My local dealer thought this was a fine idea. However, I was pricing the work out at another dealer, and they told me they wouldn't recommend the 255s, they would only do the 211s, which according to them would also require a big bore upgrade. Am I getting hosed by one or the other, or is it just more of a personal preference thing? Thanks!

They would only do the 211s? Find another dealer.
SE255s work great in a 96. 211s will work, too, but like a bit more compression. Neither one would require a BB.

Are you buying the 103 power pack with the 2011? Are you talkng about changing out the stock cams in the 103?
Sorry if these are stupid questions. I just bought a 2011 103 and I'm curious about what guys are doing as a cam upgrade.
Right or wrong? 103" Power Pack on 2011 models have the same smog cam found in a stock 96", no? 103" Power Pack models do not come with SE 255s already installed, right, but CVO 110" do.
