if your dealer is doing the work and you want no warranty issues, the 255 is a pretty good choice. But once again, opinions are like a$$holes......

I went S & S 570.

Very happy no issues.

I wanted more torque but dependability was my criterial for touring. Will have to get back with mileage.

make sure they change the bearings as well. new cams will seat differently. do you have compression release? if, no, may want to go with 255's.

I've heard great things about the Woods TW555. I am almost convinced on them though there is the warranty problem. I will install them myself... Damn the torpedos, I say.

If you want to do the install yourself then you need to watch J&P Cycles' Youtube video and atrain's step by step procedure with photos and a list of parts/tools.

204's are another strong consideration with stock 103" motor ...
