Looking at doing some engine work this winter and I have read a little here about Axtell and the Fueling cams. Anyone done both to their 110? How does it do on the road? I still do a fair amount of long road trips around 700 or more miles per day in the saddle with it, will this still be reliable?

Thanks for any insight

I've used Axtell cylinders with good success and no issues...  I've no experience with Feuling cams, but many here use the Feuling 574 cams in their 110's.

Good luck with your mods...

The current stock CVO cylinders are excellent as far as thermal stability. With a proper bore and hone in torque plates they will be very durable and seal well along with the choice of a quality piston. The 110 cylinders are the same base cating as the 4.060 "Bigger Bore" cylinders and those have been very durable as well but the factory bore and hone leaves some to be desired (perhaps they were fine at inception but heat cycling and seasoning has changed the baseline and they settle, just speculation on my part).
Heat control will also be the key to any long lasting well sealing combination.

I made the assumption you wanted to stay at 110". Is that correct or do you want to go bigger?

A 117"er with a re-worked 110" head, or even any head that can roll out 165-170 cfm @ 10" or so, can be a very formidable powerplant indeed.
Even something as small as an Andrews 37, or our favorite a Wood 6, will push off 130 plus ft/lb.
