    Guys, Ive got a basic SE 103 stage 1 kit in my 2011 Street bob, running stock thinkness HD Head gaskets with 204 cams & stock heads. 

    - I have been thinking around adding the SE 1.725:1 rockers for quite some time, from what I've read else where they seem like a good mod for bolt in cams w stock heads - Anyone here used them in a similar set up or had an expereinces with them in other set ups?

    I run them in my 98" but I did get a reputable builder in the US to tell me what parts to get for this build & the 1.725 rockers was in his list. He also built the heads to suit all these chosen parts.
    The only issue I had with the rockers was my Smith Brothers pushrods would not adjust down far enough to accomodate the rockers as the heads were CC'd to 78, so I just put some SE tapered adjustables in.

    I know some guys run standards for the exhaust & 1.725 for the inlets with successful results.

    Ran them on the 96 with 204's and now with the 103 and 204's. Not a drama after 10000k's. Changes the "characteristics" of the cam slightly for the better. Have on both inlet and exhaust.

     why not just use the right size cam for the job @ hand in stead of overloading the valve train ,  if not set up proper it' will be  wrong

    I like the cams, and they were free...

    Did you retune after fitting them Gonads?

    Well, they are in...

    Im quite happy with them. Badcooky, it runs almost spot on with your comments. More hp, more tq, better power band and a smoother delivery.

    OK thanks guys. Looks like I will probably do the same when I get my Street bob.
