I disagree since I have 211s in my 88and know first hand the difference in performance. I ride a 2001 Heritage Springer dual fishtails w/crossover, rejetted.My bike screams from start to finish and eats 103s all day. Best thing I ever did, thanks to my Indy mechanic who had to talk me into them.

211s
I don't understand why they recommend 211's for big heavy bikes. The 211's are a mid to upper cam. Big heavy bikes could really use more in the low to mid range. The 211's also prefer a bump in compression. A stock 88 with stock heads has about as low of compression as you can go. The 211's are a good fit with HC cast pistons, 95" and a lighter bike like a Dyna, IMO.
In a Big heavy bike like a touring model, road king, etc, AND staying 88" the 203's or 204's would be a better choice, IMO. Both those cams can shine with a little additional work (porting) as well aas the 211's.
Here is a Dyno from a 88" with 204 cams.

Eats 103's all day 
. We have a bunch of young guns driving 2001 Honda Civics in town who eat Mustangs, Camaro's and Challengers all day. The secret is, not to let the other guy know he's in a race. Works every time.

Nice resurrection...you just missed setting a new record. I actually had to count months and days on this one to verify the record. Missed by just over 3 months. Are you sure those people on those 103s youre eating even know they're in a race? Kinda like these guys from 14+ years ago know they're being called out? Lol...welcome to the forum
