Interestingly.....I bought a t-shirt up in Big Bear last weekend that says "50% of the emergency room visits begin with somebody saying 'watch this!'...."       I've been a prime example more than my fare share of times......the most recent being when I broke my hip on a wave runner down in Key West a couple of years ago.

Thanks again to Jorge & Martha for bailing me out on that one!

Thinking about it Pete.

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...

Make it a 120!

This is my 103. Stock pistons, heads cut for 10.1 compression the rest is in my signature.

Beautiful bike, Paul! 

You ARE going to bring it to MV14, I hope!

If I get it set up to do some mountain riding, I plan on it... Can't bring a stock setup and expect to "Hang" with the big hitters in MV...

Mountains? Mountains at MV? Come on, those are just mounds with hollers and twisties.

It's more mountains than I'm used to seeing, besides my Colorado trip. I'm used to riding paved roads thru swamp land and flatter than .... Well, flat...

I love me some MV though...more than I'm used to...

Yeah, I always thought I was riding the 'mountains' also until I left the Blue Ridge and went out and crossed the Rockys and up and over the Grand Tetons.. ..waaayyy to high!  har.  spyder

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.

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

'Custom' bikes are always different.  har!  spyder

Kathy's 05 has .001 run out. 575's did not last 15k
