103ci performance upgrades
trying to get some opinion out there. i am thinking of putting a set of cams in my 12 103. just looking for some imput on any performance mods that you guys did, and the results. i hear that a set of cam shafts, full exhaust, air cleaner, and upgraded tuner of some sort really wkes them up. any input?

IMO your biggest bang for the buck is Stage 1 with just mufflers and free flowing air cleaner. Next is the big bore cylinders and flat top pistons folowed by high compression pistons and to really wake it up you need to enhance flow through the heads with either purchased or having yours reworked. Everything I have mentioned is in the top end and does not require opening the cam chest. If you go with forged High Compression pistons, a good set of cams will enhance what you did in the top end. Also you will find you can only run so much lift with the stock springs in your stock heads so again heads before cams. I have added cams to 2 bikes and only after adding the high compression pistons. If you look for published data you will find the most agressive cams you can run with your hydraulic pistons will only gain you about 10% HP and Torque.

I have a 2012 UC. I do two up touring and pull trailer so I was motivated to increase torque.
I went with Supertrapp 2 into 1, Power Commander V tuner, SE stage 1 air.
Then I had it Dyno'd at Fuelmoto.
I was going to get a cam but have been satisfied with the above mods so am going to not get one right now.
I had narrowed my choices down to either the SE 255 or the Andrews 48H, but these are torque cams and may not be what you need for your style of riding.

After exhaust-A/C-tuner, Cams are the next step. If ya only want lowend the SE255s would be the choice with stock compression. Andrews has a new 57h cam for stock 103 I'd take a hard look at. I put 54h cams in my mild 103 build but did up the compression. I'm happy with them for the way I ride.

If I were you, I would start by calling this number and asking for a guy named Jamie.

Tell him you are interested in cam shafts, full exhaust, air cleaner, and upgraded tuner of some sort. Ask him lots of questions and be prepared to tell him specifics about what kind of riding you do and your preferences with regards to the looks of the bike and sound. He'll do a good job for you.
Good luck.
