What is the size in the Screaming Eagle CVOs? Has it made a significant difference for the casual rider? For me its Fulsac cores and the eventual MasterTune when Steve ships that off to Hawaii... 2009_FLTRSEI3 had his from delivery and loves the Stage I Fulsac . . .

Aloha,

Techie

CVO110's use the SE255 cams

SE 255 cams.

He beat me to it...

[2018_FLTRXSE]

yup.. love mine.. scared my fat azz one day as I hit 2nd gear and the front came up (not a lot, but it was off the ground) until I pulled my weight forward....

AS other discussion has implied, the 255's run out of steam before the redline...

THe bike has always had a noisy motor, but has developed a more noticeable "rattle" between 2700 and 3500 and it sounds like a lifter or valve spring, or something of the sort...

WHat the heck.. its under warranty. 

IF it blows up some upgrades are in order... crank, cylinders, HC pistons, cams, headwork, oil system upgrades, etc....

I dont think I beat on my bike as hard as Hoist, but I'm definetly not easy on the throttle either.... so, its only a matter of time... and I have noticed a decrease in mileage... or maybe a heavier right hand?

The attached dyno chart is from my 2008 SE Springer. It had all the goodies and lasted almost 3000 miles before disaster struck the engine ! I am an old guy and thusly don't ride a bike very hard. The engine mishap cured me from ever having an engine "built" again.
....The dealer that built the bike did stand behind the work ,but it was a real eye opener for me when I was told to expect even more of the same because the 110 engine cannot be built to the dyno numbers I attained ! Needless to say-----the bike is history and my new one sports only the Xieds to help cool it ! I think twin "Jaggs" are in my near future--they do seem to keep things cooler !  NOW,I do say "NO" to major engine mods ! JMHO
..........BTW the list of engine mods was too extensive to fit it all on the dyno chart !

[Techie0212]

Ralph, what did you have in the "built" engine? I'm at 5k with Xied and Fullsac 2.25s. Looking for a better package but no big mods. I was asking the cam question if the SE255 are different to the stock cams on the 103ci? That is the main issue at Stage I . . .

[Ralph]

Hey---The 255 cam seems to be about the best you can do without changing compression ratios--Woods cams does offer a TW7H,which will add a bunch of hp and tq at the expense of a lot of valve chatter. The TW7H does not need any additional compression !
....Be aware that the addition of different cams will demand the addition of ignition mods !
These mild cam mods will NOT cause you any problems. What caused me most of the problems was the 11:1 compression. Detonation seems to become a real consideration with the addition of compression beyond about 10:1,depending upon your location (read altitude).
.... Keep the mods to a minimum and pay strict attention to engine cooling---heat really is an enemy for 110 engines as the fuel,compression,and timimg all change with major mods !
..Remember that H.D. engines are limited by the fact that they are air cooled ! Air cooling is only moderately effective and even less so with a racing engine that builds massive heat !
.Enjoy what you have---unless you have BIG bucks and are very adventurous !
............NOTE---Twin Jagg coolers on the attached picture !----Again, JMHO----

[aka_Matt]

theres no reason y any motor should not last, as long as its built and tuned correctly... what exactly "broke" on yours?
there r better bolt in cams than the SE255 also... SE204, HQ500, just about any that have no more than a 36 intake close...

[Ralph]

Hey Matt----JMHO is all that I can offer----Everyone has his own opinion and Iam sure everyone has a reason for developing those opinions. Experience is what I based my opinions upon and I know there is lots of room for error. Like they say," The world would be a boring place if everybody thought just alike".
........I respect your thoughts and you are correct;there are a lot of cams out there. I bet the amount of cams available probably equal the number of opionions available !
...BTW, a softail W/ balanced engine is incapable of attaining the RPMs of the non-balanced engine,this is verified in most all rev-limits posted by H.D.. That ,in-a-nutshell, was the primary factor involved with regards to my engine failure ! Build and tune were primo ! Too many RPMs will ruin most any engine , especially when extreme HEAT is introduced.
.Again ; JMHO.................................(TW7H cam closes @40 degrees--guess it won't work ?)
.......................................................Bob Woods will be very upset to hear this !

My rev limiter on my 02 95 Deuce is set at 7000 rpms. I have been hitting 6500-6700 for a lot of miles with no problems on my B motor. The only mechanical failures I have had were with timing chains (got gears now) and drive train parts. Sheered off a few drive pulley bolts and broke the spokes on an 18 rear wheel doing wheelies. There may be issues with later B motors and the rpms, but i beat the crap out of mine all the time.

...........I guess H.D. specifications can be wrong,just like many other things !

[aka_Matt]

the unbalanced 4" stroke motors 'can' spin to 7000, while the balanced and 'stroker' motors r limited to 6200... there r very few cams out there that r made for street riding that put the HP peak over 6000... my friend has a built 103" with HQ600 cams (47 IC), 10.8 comp, and peaks right around 5800... detonation is another story, its all in the tune... but ur better off with a bigger cam (later IC) to bleed off compression, to be safe, altho u will lose low end power...

[lvse110se5]

I just had Steve at Fullsac install the 2" fullsacs with the andrews 54 cams on a 2010 CVOUC and I could not be happier. It is fast, has plenty of torque throughout the range and best of all, I can listen to the stereo at les than half volumn while cruising at 75 or 80

[Techie0212]

lvse110se5  Did you do the Air Cleaner as well as the TTS?

Techie

[lvse110se5]

yes I did. He ran the dyno on mine so that he now has a map for this application
