I have a 103 rk classic and have the stage 2 set up with 255s, pcv, a v&h powerduels headpipe.se ac, and jackpots and it pulls hard off the line right up to redline...it is a totally differnt bike than stock..way, way faster.....but I must say it does drinks a lot more gas now...

Just a question, are the SE255 cams the same as the CVO 255 cams? I see the stamping is different, just want to know if it is the same grind. Gonna place a bid on a set on ebay.

They are the same. Make sure they fit your year, 07 and up is different. I don't know if they made 255 cams for the 06 and older, but they are different.

this is my setup,,I have a 09 Ultra with a 96"motor, SE Fatshotz Mufflers and the New Boyesen High Flow A/C,,,I had my Dealer install SE 255 Cams in the 96" also he put the Download for the 103 SE Stage II Kit in my 96" .. The Bike ran a He!! of a lot better but ran a little warm or Hot... Then I had the Xieds instaled by American at Large Motorcycle Shop in Carrollton,KY ... This cooled the bike down and it runs Better Than it Ever Did ...All I can say is if you want to install Cams and don't want to add the Cost of a PCV or TTS and a Dyno Tune this might be the way to go....Im Very Happy with the way my bike runs..It's smooth has lots of Power with no poping on decel....


Let me add this,, American at Large does a lot of Motor work on Harleys they also have a Dyno for Tunning ,,After they installed the Xieds the Owner took my Ultra for a test ride when he returned I asked him if a Dyno Tune would help my bike ??? His answer was ,,,,Your bike runs strong very strong,, It would be a waste of Money to Dyno your bike,, for what little more you would get, it's just not worth the cost,,, I hope this helps anyone trying to decide on Xieds or even a Cam change..

My goal was to have a good runing "TROUBLE FREE" bike FROM 0-80 MPH (it will run pass 80 easy)..And so far its working ,, It's a blast to Ride in the Hills of Kentucky!!!

I got to agree with mgmmgm. I already have a set of SE 255's from my 07 FLHT that I thought I would be putting in the RGC. The more I look at the 222's, with about 10+ HP & TQ over the average 255 build, I may be selling the SE's & going with the Woods.

103" with FM 2-1-2 header, muffs, A\C, Power Vision Tuner & Woods 222 cams vs. Stock.

hello. I have a 2013 Wide glide with 255 cams, V&H big shots & a SE breather. I also have a Dyna Jet Power vision. I have trouble finding a map for the cams. I unfortunatly didnt buy from Fuel Moto so they wont help me. Dyna Jet dosent have a map for 255 cams. My bike runs strong. But it runs ruff around 2,000 rpms and lower.
Can anyone help me find a map for this? Im new to tuning fuel injected bikes! @ 67 im not sure i have the brain cells for this?! thanks

While 255s are much better in a 96 than 103 I would recomemd Andrews 48s. Friends don't let friends run 255.

SE255 cam, SERT, A/N Big Sucker AC, V/H Power Duals (Cat gone!), dyno to pull it all together, man o man. What a beast with a snarl. Excellent low end torque for 2 up riding, 6 gear now has purpose. MPG change is not noticeable, more rear tire wear will be noticeable however.
Highly recommend the 255 for low end torque. However, for those who insist on wide open throttle riding, consider another route. But for my use, this setup is PERFECT.
