Twolanerider,

Thanks for the heads up on the Zippers 575 cams. Looks like I may now be going for the Freedom YB14 SEC gear drive setup. I have seen some really good numbers on here from fellow members who have installed them. Any feedback concerning these cams would be appreciated.

Tom, users of both have been almost universally happy.  Both seem to do a great job in the 103 application.  The only difference of note between the two is the the Yuill cam seems to give slightly better overall numbers but comes in just a bit later while the Zippers cam comes in a bit earlier but at the expense of top end numbers.  Those differences seem not to be great though.  Just a little.

I have an 07 110" Se. I was going to go with the 575's and Zipper's heads and my builder advised against it. I went with Headquarters 575's & new heads. Pulls like a freight train with 120lbs torque. I did have Zipper's tweak it when I was in Daytona last week. Shifting from 1st to 2nd at 5gs makes for a ride on one wheel experience.

I've got a little over 13,000 miles on my 575's and I hope I don't have any soft cams.
There hasn't been any metal on my magnetic oil drain plug but I haven't cut my oil filter apart since the cam install.  For my riding style, the 575's are much better than stock and I no longer have tensioner plastic in my oil filter.  I put in the cams for a performance benefit and the added plus of getting rid of the tensioners.  Hopefully, I got a good set of cams as I was unaware of a possible problem until this thread. 
With Zippers products, people either love them or hate them.  2Lane's pictures of their head work on his job was less than desireable.

That was not pretty headwork Bob.  That's for sure.  You know it's bad when you get "rebuilt" and redesigned heads back from a company like that and decide to do the valve job over again before you dare install what they sent you....

Where did I miss the pics of the Zippers headwork?

You didn't, really.  They're in about a year-old thread in the SEEG section.  Pictures of the heads and commentary start here: http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=8183.msg134033#msg134033

Sounds like you made the right choice.  From all my dealings with them that brought the wrath of Zippers fans shutting down the thread at http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=13153.0

I think you dodged the bullet that avoided a grenade situation
