Push rods and cams; depends on what you decide on, but there are great prices out there, just search some of the sites provided here.
In saying that FM may indeed be the best for you for cams and push rods, each to their own (search the forums for ideas, OMG there's an "Encyclopedia Britannica" on Cams advice here on the HD forums! chain V's Gear etc...happy reading!), that's what great about HD's you have a myriad of choices, none bad, as long as YOU'RE happy!

FM will give you great prices, but also superior customer service and technical support. If you go elsewhere make sure they can back up the customer service and support. FMs free maps for life is tough to beat.
Eastern Performance gets most of my "non-engine" related business; however they do have the hi-po engine parts and have great service.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply's fellas! A question about cams...is it worth it to get the "easy start" type? I still have to call S&S and talk to a tech about them, but just curious of what the typical guy thinks.

I did all the research known to man, and then some....
I ended up going with Andrews 48H's, but i have a 96", i believe you have a 103"?
have a look at the Andrews 57H's out of idle curiosity. But there's a million possibilities S&S are great don't get me wrong, I almost went with the 570 Gear Driven, but the price difference was significant....
This is like opening a can of worms on "what's the best cams", be ready for the torrent of comments if you go this route!
Will have them installed (48H's) in the next couple of weeks, will post my results..

You are asking a lot of information, but truth be known you need to do a lot of reading.
That is what this forum is intended for.
Are you are going to be doing the work yourself?
FWIW, I've never had a lick of trouble with Direct Cycle parts for anything and have found they do have about the prices, and I have been dealing with them since they were Wally's Cycle parts.

Well, Im not exactly fixed on cams and exhaust yet. Im thinking the V&H Drak air cleaner though. Im thinking S&S cams, I need to give them a call to see exactly what I want. As for exhaust...Right now I have stock header with some RC Component slip-ons. I want to go with black exhaust. Thinking about V&H there too. Unless anyone has suggestions....this is my first Harley. I ride a '13 RG by the way.
PS Your 103 already has auto. compression releases so easy start cams would be redundant.
