Thanks for reading.
your bike is a 12.. it's got ACRs as stock.

are they needed with this build, nope but they'll always lighten the load on your starter.

that 48 is a great bagger cam and you'll like it even more with head work.

nice curves.. tuner did well for you.

Thanks Ultra, Aaron at Kutter did the tune. I have heard a lot of good things about him and his dyno work. Since I am not much of a mechanic I didn't even know it had compression release stock, another bonus. This is going to have to be enough upgrades for a while, momma is going to be very disappointed in me as it is, again. I read on here about the 57 in the 103 so I called Aaron to get his opinion. From what I told him how I ride mainly 2 up with a bunch of cargo he thought the 48 would be better for me. I can't wait to get on it, between work and the weather, UGH. I will let you know my thoughts after a few miles.

57 is a great cam as well.. matter of fact just about ALL cams are great cams.. for the right circumstance. 57 does ok in a stock 103 but does a LOT better with additional components and head work.
