Who has changed from the stock 255?
What Cam did you go to? What else have you changed? (ie pipes, breather)
I'd appreciate some feedback on performance, noise, etc.

Dave,

What are you looking for in performance ?

[BaggerDave]

More top end without sacrificing the low end torque of the 255.

Dave,

Check out links below. A great upgrade for the CVO 110's without sacfraficing driveability.

Does your bike fall under the head replacement/head gasket campaign ?

Yep!

Plenty of options besides Zippers. If ya love grief, no customer support and attitudes, go to Zippers. If ya want something other than that, look elsewhere. The SE 251 is a good bolt in cam. Your dealer, if they're capable enough to assemble top end parts (they better be for this new "campaign"), can do it at the time of your "Product Enhancement". If you're looking for better performance than that, speak with a good engine designer/builder about what you're trying to accomplish. If he's any good, he'll listen to you and be able to recommend a package to meet your needs. If he doesn't, you're at the wrong place.

I use CR 595 cams from CycleRama. They did my heads and designed my engine for 9.8:1 CR. A much larger TB is required if you're doing substantial mods. If you use the SE 251, the 50mm TB should be adequate. I see you have the FatCat already. So you have many options.

Who's doing the work? If it's the dealer, it's important you and he are on the same page. But Zippers would be the last place I'd look personally!

Good luck with your mods!

Hoist!

You speaking from personal dealings with them? Funny I haven't had any problems w/their cams, and even those that have had issues w/other Zippers products will say that the cams for the 103's were a good product.

Also interesting how opinions change concerning CR (Aftermarket Mail Order Performance Mods! Buyer Beware!!!)

My personal experience, many members here, and espercially my buddy's! You have a cam that was designed for your motor. The guy's got a 110! They've done no such thing for the 110, like Wes and others have. And I don't know anyone that can say anything positive about their customer service either. I never said 1 negative thing about the design of my components from CR. I've always given CR kudos for the design. My bike runs great. The time it took to get my parts, then the subsequent fighting with them about giving me information was my issue. You referenced the thread. Now read it Gary!

Oh, I've read it (along w/many of your posts), but sometimes I don't think you read what you write.

I just spoke to Pam and Wes at CycleRama. They were both great.!
Wes is actually working on a new cam for the 110 that is designed to do exactly what I want.
But he wants to test it out in a 110 like mine before he recommends it. That's a class act in my book!
He is going to call when he has it tested to his satisfaction.

See, what don't you get Gary. Dave has someone to talk to and work with there. Like Zippers? How can you make a blanket statement like that to me. That BS! You've heard me say repeatedly how good my bike runs. So I had a hassle with the vendor. That's over and has no bearing on the design of their components. I take exception to your general statements here, just cause you got a Zippers part in your bike, and I said something bad about them. Talk to the many members here who went thru hell with Zippers then come back and tell everyone how great they are! Meantime, til you walk in my shoes, keep your blanket unsubstantiated comments to yourself. Thank you.

Hoist!

Again you're not reading what you're posting, but unlike you I'm not going to to death or beat my head trying to explain it to you. You'll never understand, as I said before you don't read what you write...... Now I'm thru with it, so if you want to post a response go for it I think you like hearing yourself talk. Have a great day.

Then take some English lessons I guess. We're nowhere near being on the same page. I was offering the man some assistance. Not picking another member's post apart, while offering no technical value to the question he raised. If you have technical opinions, then offer them. Otherwise, what you've offered here does nothing but get me to respond with more worthless info just for you. Keep it technical. You like the Zippers, explain why it will work well for him in his 110. Otherwise, 

Hoist!
