[16HD117]

Ok Gents, I just read all 50 pages of posts (Started Monday night) and this is my first post on this forum.  I just bought a 2013 SERK yesterday and ordered the 117, D and D 2-1-2 headers along with their cans, SE Heavy breather, along with some 16" gangster apes and some doodads....
My first CVO, actually never even rode one, but I do ride the wheels off my 09 ultra which I did a 103 stage IV on.  My buddy ran me down on his RG with ported polished heads on a 106 (I think) last week and I didnt like the feeling so I sold one of my 03 RK and traded in the other  03 RK to buy the SERK... Hopefully Miracle Mile HD shakes a leg and gets my my bike back soon so I can smoke the son ova b.... that ran me down....

Great thread, nice bikes, hope to see you on the road some time fellas....

Welcome to the sight and congrats on the new bike!

I'm afraid that if you really get involved with the site and start going to some of the events you'll be trading bikes quite often!  Not saying yours won't be fast but there's always someone faster!

Right Hubbard?

Matt, now that you have put some riding time in, how does the low end feel with the 259 cam? Does it feel the same, better or worse at say 2500RPM then the stock set up. I'm 90% sold on this kit and need to pull the trigger so I'm in the 60 day window for warranty and save a few bucks on 1st service. My dealer has promised me warranty as long as I put the exact kit in meaning no cam changes or head work. I'm not unhappy with the stock power but would like more run out and push when 2 up. My thought is after a couple of years I can mill the head and pick up more power cheap if I want more. Thanks for any input. I'm being quoted $3870 for kit, install, dyno and 1st service.

Price sounds right.

I'll be honest, I've never ridden a 110 bike.  I had a 103, a crazy built 103, a 103HO and then this bike.  I never rode it an inch without the 117. 

They tell me it pulls a little harder than the 110 down low but never runs out of steam. 

Again, I've never ridden a stock 110 with 255 cam so I can't say from personal experience.

How does it compare to your built 103?

[KC2GIW]

How does it compare to your built 103?

Day and night. The 103 was built 11:1 with mva heads and 260 cams.

Definitely apples and oranges.

I am not disappointed - not is anyone with the 117 so far it seems.

Mine pulls harder than my 110 did. The 255 cams are supposed to be tops for HD cams for low end tq. I was surprised that the 259e cams seem even better

Are you guys running the stock clutch and spring with this kit?

[cvo1717]

I am running stock clutch and no spring so far so good

[RoadDawg]

Are you guys running the stock clutch and spring with this kit?

Yes. Only mod is the pipes: Bassani Pro Street Turnouts

[YELLOWBIRD]

Are you guys running the stock clutch and spring with this kit?

I am, stock clutch with spring from kit installed.

No problems Very solid. I did go the extra mile and sent my bottom end to DH along with a SE Timken bearing added into the mix.

Ok after using the search button and reading through pages till my eyes crossed I found part of what I was looking for. Piston CC is -1.7. For those of you that have built the 117's are the pistons still running .005 to .007 in the hole and what is the bore of the head gasket?

Head gasket bore is 4.150
