I bought my 88TC E-glide last spring from a guy that must have had a fedish with S.E. parts. True duals, air cleaner, jetting, spark box, etc, all S.E. parts. He said the cams were upgraded but I deleted the email he sent me before seeing the bike with all the info. Rode last summer with a few guys that had 96's with stage one setups but nothing too built up and never had an issue hanging with or leading them. Well anyway, last week a bud came over with a new 103 soft tail, it has a tuner, V&H pipes (no cats), S.E. A/C and dino tuned. We hit the road and on one stretch we cranked it up. I had my GF(110lbs.) on the back and my bud could not gain on me until 108 mph. This made me smile.... a lot! So I'm thinking I should just leave the thing alone. But not knowing what cams is bugging the crap out of me. The bike lopes a bit but nothing near some of these built up engines. Any ideas on what S.E. cams?

 

Se203s

 

I had SE 204's and they are known for a nice loping idle. Most likely 203's - much more commonly used.

 

203s or 204s...more like 203s....

 

Have the dealer run the VIN and see if they can pull up the work history...I would bet to PO had the cams put in at dealer..

 

Have them check for cam chain tensioner replacement or upgrade too.

 

Thanks guys, 203 seems to ring a bell. I could tear it down and check part numbers, but it's finally riding season so I'm burning fuel instead. After running against the 103 the inferior little 88 feeling has subsided........for now.
