Only got about 10 miles of ride time on them, due to michigan's inclimate weather we now have about 6" of snow. But the trip to the gas station and back was a blast. Havn't really gotten to the full potential of this set up yet but from what I've seen so far totally worth the investment of time and money. Where I was normally doing 60 mph quickly accelerating I'm now doing 80 and didn't didn't even notice it happen. So far I'm in love. Nice lope off idle too.

Thanks for the report. I am seriously considering the 48 as well.
Did you, or are you, going to retune?

The 48 H is a lot like the SE 255 only goes out a bit further, before it drops off.
I was going to go that way as well but decided to go with the Feuling 525's instead.
This was after the thought and purchase of the Woods 6-6's and then the purchase of the 48's and then sold them both and went with the 525's.
It was not an easy decision.

I'm still breaking in mine....18000 miles later...i should be able to change the oil now... Thinking of going to Safflower blend.
I was pondering that cam and got a deal on the 26H... Glad to see all went well...Gratifying isn't it?

I run this cam on my older 103 Glide. Had it dynoed when I installed the cam. Bike is currently down for loud engine noise (one day I'll tear into it) but I was always happy with the torque this cam produced. After I purchased the 48H, I learned that the 57 was designed specifically for the stock 103, bu it was too late. I never felt that I would get much better with a different cam. Regardless, enjoy it.
