Sceaming Eagle Cam Update
Riding back from Laconia this year two up and loaded with gear I decided I need more torque for my 103 `15 TriGlide. I have an SE Pro Tuner, SE air cleaner, Cobra Head pipes with no cat and SE Street Cannon exhausts. Looking in the HD catalog it appears the SE-295E cam would be the choice for my year TriGlide. Anyone have any experience with this cam and similar combination in their trike?

That SE-259E cam not SE-295E (I think are the cams you are talking about) can be done in the trike, but there are other cams that would be easier to tune and offer a wider torque curve for that heavy trike. Like the TTS-100 cams. Unless you are just stuck on HD parts.
This was done on a 2 wheel bike. Trike will be less.

The se259e cam is designed as a horse power cam that needs plenty of compression to work down low. So unless you’ve got 10.5 compression or more in your trike it’s completely unsuitable.
Most heavy bikes and trikes will want a torque cam. The se255 is gonna have the most torque down low for a low compression engine but they generate heat and fall away early. Next best in the se range for a trike would be the se585 or se204 which are good midrange cams.
There are better cams outside of the se range for a trike. Look at the Andrews 48 and cycle Rama 570. The tts100, mentioned previously, would be another good one to consider.
Good luck

CAM upgrade to a 2015 Trike
If you are going to stick with Screamin Eagle then you need the 255 Torque CAM on that 103....I had one and it really did help the low-end torque. You don't want a Horse Power Cam.
I now have the 107 that I upgraded to a 114 with the SE Torque Cam and love the combination. She really pulls now....I ride almost 100% of the time with wife and gear.....
You won't regret the Torque Upgrade if you run loaded a lot.
