Props to James Dean for that quote.
Those who have read my posts are aware of my less than glowing opinion of the 110 that came in my '07 SERK. I've been reading the last three years of discussion on what has been done by various persons to remedy the engineering disaster that was these early engines, as well as upgrade the later ones. I must say the opinions range widely. This cam wakes things up - no, it didn't make any difference in mine; you need to have at least X.X compression to overcome the stock squish; this tuner is best - no, it won't do anything about ___, but this one will... etc. But after all that I have a list of parts and work that I am about to embark on to try and fix the many shortcomings my thirty thousand dollar bike has. My interests are mainly a reliable, bullet-proof engine with no tuning issues like eratic idle, stumbles, sensitivity to what fuel I might have to put in it, or lousy mileage. I don't care that I might be leaving five or ten horsepower on the table, my V&H Dresser Duals and Monster Ovals will cut that much. For comment an criticism they are:
Axtell cylinders
Wiseco 9.5 pistons
Woods 555 cams (unless I hear a convincing reason why Andrews 54 would be better)
Woods directional lifters
stock pushrods
Pro Street head work by Dewey's Heads
Darkhorse balanced, trued, welded crank
Timkin bearings
K&N filter in stock housing with stock TB (have to retain the cable cruise control)
Cometic .030 head gaskets
SERT tune (already have the original SERT package so don't want to buy another system)
SE Compensator
Baker DD7 transmission
31-tooth pulley and minus one tooth belt
Progressive cartridge inserts (have Bitubo shocks)
Lyndall rotors, gold pads
Bagger Brace
What am I forgetting?
