You stated two up and under 4k. 255 is the cam. You're in Tennessee, must be SMHD by chance? You will like the low end of the 255 cam in the hills and twisties, and the Dragon. This has been my experience on my last two touring bikes, and Tennessee riding.

If ya have a 103 do 204s. If they will put .030 head gaskets in for a reasonable cost do it. High ratio rockers will help some too (not sure enough to justify cost). Head work would be better than either. Proper dyno tune is the best thing ya can do for it. Sorry about being stuck with HD...

My last bike was a 12 sg with the se 204's and a friend I rode with had a 12 sg with 255's. When we would play around his bike would stay with mine briefly in the lower rpm range and it wasn't long and the 204's would run away from it. The 204's was more fun to ride IMHO. I've heard the 222 are similar to the 204's. I may be the only one running 204's in a 14, no canned maps for it in my application, so far so good!
Good luck in your choice!

I've got SE204's in my ride and I'm very pleased with the results. Keep in mind, my 07 has slightly taller gearing than the later years. 6th gear is happy at all speeds beyond 65 mph and pulls well without downshifting and passes with authority in 6th at speeds beyond 70 or so. The additional benefit is how well it pulls to redline (6200). So let's see, great torque down to 2600-2700 rpm with a happy rpm charge to redline. This is in a 96 inch. With a 103 with slightly higher compression, the lower rpm torque characteristics would be even better.

Local dealership is having their annual winter cam install special. They suggest the SE 255 (dealership stated SE 255 is the same as used on 2014 103") for my touring bike for my riding style. 2up and rpms usually below 4K .I asked about the SE 204 and they said that they did not install many of them. I was surprised to here that since many forum members suggest the SE 204. Dealership also suggested the SE 259 for more aggressive riding. My question is about tuning. Dealership does not have a dyno so I would get download to my SEPRT. WILL THIS BE EFFICIENT? Dealship has other location that has dyno but stated most customers do not want their bikes on dyno.
Thanks

Two up, I'm 270# wife is..well lets say she complements me as well. Pulling out of Deals Gap store to ride back down the Dragon absolutely no problem. If you've been there you know what I'm talking about.
