All The 110" heads we see are a 5/16" stem.

Harley does not use beehive spring in their performance applications.

And their overkill. 195lb springs for a 255 cam not needed.

Exactly! The 110 lifter bores and rocker arm bushings wear out fast.

So why did HD choose to put in the heavy valve springs?

Must have been an engineering justification.
Well we have fixed that error in the aftermarket. The soft bushings too.

To remove/replace the valve springs, can you just remove the rocker box cover or do the heads have to be removed?

Best to pull the heads as other factors can/do come into play when doing this, what may seem, simple swap.

Harley uses these over kill springs so they will work with all their cams.

The guy wanting to install a high(er)-lift cam may/may not benefit with that purchase vs labor dollars, for a one-time use, and as I said, many other factors come into play.
