Nice looking bike! How many miles does it have on it?
When I picked it up. it had 18,770.... I put about 1600 getting it back to South Louisiana.
Good ride, but damn it was cold up there. Something about doing 75 on a road that has snow in the fields on both sides for miles, that doesn't seem appealing to me..but it was a good trip.
Post by: dooinit2u on April 18, 2014, 08:46:53 AM
Did you feel claustrophobic behind that compressed dashboard at all? After riding the SERG it would be hard for me to ride an SEEG just cause it "feels" small to me = and yes, I know they are the same frame :D
Either way, she's a looker and I am happy for you.
After riding the SERG, it takes a little getting used to, and both the other bikes have different handlebars...that took a little too get used to.

That's the same way I felt after riding the SEEG for several years then getting on Andy's SERG.....just way different even though it's the same chassis.
Just think, Andy has to go through those changes every time he changes from one of his SEEGs to his SERG to his SEUC to his Road King to his Ultra Classic. That's a man of constant change. :P

Question...
What kind of upgrades has anyone done to this 103 to wake it up a lil bit?
Plan on taking that Bassani exhaust off and put a D&D 2-1, maybe upgrade a few things to swing some more numbers...

Do you know what kind of Cam you have in that machine? I had a 96cc upgraded to a 103 w/255 Cam and it worked out just fine.

From my research, It seems to have the SE253 stock cams in it, and has only had a stage 1 upgrade. Although it was tuned in Colorado and ran ok up there, being a mile high, It started to pop on decel and run a little rough when I got it to SeaLevel... Prob need to get another tune down here for the elevation change.

Jc, Ak, Erin all changed out there's
Just a heads up :2vrolijk_21:
And a whole bunch of others. There's no warning on the clutch basket.....no noise, no performance difference. Just cruizin up the freeway and all of a sudden the motor starts racing like I pulled the clutch in. And did I say that was out in the middle of nowhere? I wasn't even aware that California had "out in the middle of nowhere" until that happened. :D
If I remember right (can't count on that)....there's a page of dyno sheets with mods for the SEEGs. That thread would probably have been started in 04 or 05 so it'd be back in the archives someplace.

I had the Zippers Redshift 575's. Took them out because of the noise. Top end sounded like a sewing machine between 2000-3000 RPM
Also tried D&D Fat Cats 2-1. Couldn't stand the heat anymore from the rear pipe and my wife really didn't like the heat. So they are now off.
I think your cam choice may depend on the condition of the crank. Some of the cams that some listed are gear drive.
Checking the cam tensioners is a must!!!
There were two suppliers of chains back then. Some had tensioners fail at 10,000 - 12,000 miles. Others had tensioners that went 50K plus, but you have to look.
When I did mine I added the SE cam plate and pump.
Last time mine was apart I did S&S 570 cams. Had John Sachs do the heads. Valves, deck, CC port etc. When the heads were done compression releases were added. My bike was always a hard starting hot, especially after short hot soak (like getting fuel).
Also had him do the cylinders .010 over to clean up.
I'm happy with the way it runs.
Good luck with the B&B. I like my red bike, but the B&B has always been my favorite.
Post by: porthole on April 27, 2014, 12:39:44 PM
If you want to do just cams take a look at the Red Shift (Zippers) 575 or the Freedom cams (can't remember what model/PN they were)... both of these cams were designed specifically for the heads in the CVO 103 engines. Send hd-dude a PM and he can give you some info/details on the Freedom cams.
Gary's bike is a good example of how similar yet different these bikes can be. He has had the 575's since the beginning and always liked them.
I never really cared for them though.
Same with the tensioners. LtBawb's 05 Teal had tensioners/oil pump fail around 10,000 miles. My bike had tensioners at 25K that looked good enough for another 25.
His crankshaft was under .001
Mine was .003

Well, I ordered some new 944's for the rear, so the mods are underway. Monotubes next and then changed out the bars.Did yours come with the stock suspension?
The bike I bought was slammed, has 10.5 Burly slammer shocks on, and not sure what was done to the front but, it's totally out of balance front to back. Soft front, stiff back.

Yes, suspension on '04 was totally stock. Put the 944's on the rear and ride is out of whack until I do the monotubes. Still rides better than the stock AirShocks.
Gonna do 10" bars and monotubes at the same time.
