“This is really dry, only for the serious gear heads” *heavy breathing intensifies* Love hearing this man speak on some Big Twin knowledge

Installing, timing, and shimming sporty cams is therapeutic

Excellent info and great advice. Do not over cam your engine and you will be happy. Thank you for the video!

I got the s and s 509,and related items installed it myself.Good learning experience.Runs fine.

Definitely one of your best videos . Or maybe im just high right now lol

I just had Denny's hd Springfield, mo. put a torque cam in mine, m8, I couldn't be happier ...

I recently ordered a S&S 509g kit, it came with 2 rear cams. I returned, refunded, reordered the kit. Someone got the kit with 2 front cams. The parts looked well made, duplicate of a single part the error.

Can a person run gear driven cams on a twin cam but use chain/sprocket to the crank? IE avoid pinion shaft runout concern, and live with the outer tensioner.

Hello! Will supply the 625G S&S Gear Drive Cams Set Pushrods Lifters Engine Kit for the Harley 88 "Twin Cam. Should I change valve springs?

Harley knowingly manufactured a poorly designed timing chain / tensioners on their earlier twim cams and had the nerve to sell a "fix" kit for over $500 (not including labour) which IMO sucks balls. My advice would be to ditch the timing chain completely and get a gear drive conversion instead. Harley really should be doing this for free as a failed tensioner can seriously screw your engine up.

Hey Lemmy, what's your take on the S&S 'Easy Start' cams? Are they worth getting for a 103, or is the OEM electric compression release on 103 engine good enough to make starting just as easy as the Easy Start S&S cams?

is there a set for the 2017 touring yet?

I have 100 inch big bore on my tc88 road king SS recomends the 585 easy starts due to the compression at hot starts getting some kickback . I hear that cam is a higher rpm cam and am concerned it won’t be good. Have any recommendations 10.5-1 compression

I've got a 2003 softail night train fsxt I was wonder what I can do to hot it up..its 88ci I've been told can only go up to 96ic without spending huge money 💰 I live in Australia

Fxdwg 03 ? I ride highway, in town like to twist my throttle. The mechanic recommended the 510 kit with a mikuni 42? The bike is stocked engine slips on and AN big sucker.

great information, thanks. i am taking my 2002 softtail apart to replace my chain tensioners. after seeing this video i wonder if i should get rid of them.where can i get a hold of ALL the information i will need to do so. also, what cams do you recommend . i have all the bolt ons and i am looking for a bit more power..

Ur a good guy Lemmy. We luv u buddy...

I have not cammed my bike but am thinking about I'm not a light to light guy I like to get out and cruise take long rides with friends kinda looking at cam that's good down low and runs up to about 5000rpm what would the best S&S cam be for that

What's the best cam for mostly highway riding, for a 2005 Electra glide classic twin cam 88 fuel injected? Also they offer 2 different lifts to choose from, what's the best lift, and why? Thanks

GREAT, GREAT review / clip - thank you very much ! Fantastic info !

lemmy awesome video bother , one question tho i have 2015 twin cam...just a question, is there a way to improve oil pressure ? they do seem to run pretty low..

Ok. Thank You

I know this is an old video, but I've got a 2008 Sporty, with the Arlen Ness monster sucker, and some 2-1 drag pipes. I love to rip up in the high rev range, to the medium range. Whatcha reccomend Lemmy?

Thanks for the vid Lemmy-always great info! I ride a 09 FXDF in Cali. I 'm pretty aggressive from light to light but I also enjoy those highway speeds. Is there a cam for balanced power?

With a 475 cam for a 107 m8 do you also have to change the tappets as well or can you use your existing parts. They seem to be marketed as a drop in and use product but I think there might be more to it parts wise than just the regular adjustments you'd do with a new cam.

Hey Lemmy, always great videos. I’m planning an upgrade for my 13model RG. 103. We do a lot of rippin, so, your thoughts on a 585?

What Cam would you recommend for a 2006 Softail Deluxe that has a stage 1 upgrade already.. Vance and Hines exhaust and k&n air cleaner.. I just want the next thing over the stock Cam. I do 90% of my riding around in the street and I ride normal... I don’t power shift or rev out the motor before I shift...

I have a 2011 sg with the 103. I like to rip down straightaways and backroad twisties and often hitting full throttle. 555 or 585 cam? And do i need adjustable pushrods or upgraded valve springs for either?

I have an 07 softail, 96.. all stock except the stage 1 with a thundergeader.. I ride mostly around town but I love to accelerate stoplight to stoplight.. it feels a little weak in the mountains.. which cam would I need??

I have a 2001 Dyna I want to do the gear conversion kit do you recommend doing a high flow oil pump?

what is reccomended for a 1998 carbbed evo road king? want more general power nothing crazy, no motor work done to it yet, just exhaust

I have a 07' road king classic with screaming eagle stage-1 breather v&h ovals and v&h dressers duels and looking for a cam upgrade I like the 509 cams and Andrews 57h what would be better

I'm planning on buying a 1999 Road King that is stock and has not had any internal motor work done. I read that there is a chain tensioner problem with this year and motor. This bike has 37k miles, should I have the cams and gears replaced along with the chain tensioner to give this bike some pep? My style of riding is to tour the country.

2006 fxdb, 88ci, but was bumped up to 95ci. Stock had 70T pulley, but now has a 66T pulley...I am finding on lower rpm, 1500-2500 that I have lost the power...I have to rev a little higher to keep it going. Highway cruising is nice, but low speed it struggles a bit. What cam would help me out? 509? Need to bring the power band down. I dont use the upper rpm 4000 plus range...ie non aggressive riding.

What do you recommend to get good mid range in my 2016 Street Bob 103?

Love your vids man!! What type of CAM would you recommend for a 2009 Road King Classic? Pretty aggressive on the throttle and like to bang through the gears.

Can you tell me why a new cam chain is not included in these kits? Surely they don't expect you to use a stock chain, do they ?

great reviews

Is 585 a good cam for a 103

have a 2013 dyna 103" with thunderheader,want to improve overall power and sound, like to ride in the 3500 to 5500 rpm range , lot of highway and 2 up riding also...what cam would you recommend ?

Got an ‘01 dyna stage 1. What’s a good cam for highway touring, for good mpg?

2015 FXDL Low Rider 103, I have S&S Intake/Air Cleaner, V&H Short Shots pipes, and The V&H FP3 tuner. I rarely ride 2 up (maybe once every other month for under 50 miles, in Oklahoma). I like quick acceleration, and stretching it's legs on the turnpike when it is clear. My daily ride to work usually consists of town/hwy driving 40-60mph, and about 12 mile rip down the turnpike. I don't feel like I need more power in the Idle to 2000 RPM range. I don't think pushing much above the 5500 RPM range would be healthy with stock heads/springs. What would you suggest to maximize that 2000/2200-5000/5200 RPM range? I hope I can quench my power thirst for a couple of years...LOL. Thanks!

2019 iron 883 never two up ride somewhat aggressively, hard off most lights chill when I get to about 60

I have a 2016 Fxdls Harley with the 110 engine, looking for overall more torque and power. I ride a lot of highway cruising. but love to haul a** a lot also. When I want power cruising on the highway I usually drop a gear. What cam would be good.

I have a 2014 Street Glide with a 2 into 1 exhaust, power commander 5, and Arlen Ness air cleaner. I beat the tar out of this bike and enjoy doing a bit of drifting. What would be my best cam package for the money? My dyno sheet puts me at 94hp and 103tq. I would like to be over 100hp a 110tq. Oh, and my bike also has 33,000 miles on it.

I’ve got a 97 1200 xl with screamin eagle heads what would be the best cams to wake my girl up.

Well done!

2017 ....103CUI.......Softail Slim....V&H Drags......Apehangers.....Bobber........Bee-Boppin........around Town.......Tampa, Florida..........City Riding.........SS/#551......Thanx Bro.....

WHICH S&S CAM SHOULD I PUT IN MY 04 HARLEY DAVIDSON ELECTRA GLIDE FLHTCI. ANY HELP WILL BE WELCOMED

04 road glide with stage 1 and true duals, and 97" big bore kit s&s, which cam, only ride hard when people to impress lol

Hey Lemmy I’ve got a 2009 HD Nightster with a 1200 EVO motor I would like to run a more aggressive cam to get more torque and horsepower and to get a more lopey exhaust note kind of like a 70’s model shovel Any advice bro?

My 2013 FLHX is at 50k miles and I plan to install S&S .551 cams, new tappets, bearings and tensioners next winter. Do I need the EZ start cams or not? Does the 2013 H-D 103 have ACR?

Is there a stage 2 kit for sportster 1200? How much is it?

Can you run a 551 cam in a stock 88 or would the 509 be better?

2010 ultra classic, two up riding. 509 is the one I want?

I got a stock s&s 520 in my super stock evo 88. Anyone got any performance data on that?

Hi can you put the eazy start for the 525G cam on ebay for me ? I have the acr electrical wiring it's okey?

Here is a tricky one, I ride a M8 ultra and tour heavy , but I also like to beat the piss out of it.

G'Day, I'm riding a 2003 FXDWG Wide Glide. Most of the time I"m pulling a camper trailer, approx' 400 kg = 850 lbs. I'm thinking cams that will help when off the lights. Most of the time I"m sitting on the Speed limit?? Around 100 k/h to 110 k/h - This converted would be 60mph to 70mph. Guess, I'm from down under in Australia.

For a bike that is so heavy, the cost benefit ratio is small for an engine that is a torquer vs high rpm horsepower bike. The engine is designed for torque, not horsepower

👍🏻👍🏻😎

- What is the max run out I can have in order to safely install gear drive cams in my 04 FXDL 88"? 50,000 miles, & the engine has never been touched, & does not burn a drop of anything, ... & I beat the ever-loving piss out of it. Amsoil Synths in all three holes every 2,000. 75% Of time just me, 25% two up. Slip on SE2s, SE plugs 'n wires, SE Heavy Breather, SE Stage 1 carb kit. Gear drive cam suggestions if I am looking for that mid-range, ... maybe even through 5,500rpm when slammin' into fourth? Also, do any of the kits come with a better oil pump, ... what about tappet replacement? I know I will want to do that, but are they always a separate purchase? Be well, ...

Hi what is the best cam for the screaming eagle 110ci ? S&S 625G. ??? Let me know

I cant seem to find a camshaft for my 2014 Harley Davidson sportster 883 iron do they even make them for my bike?

Hello gentlemen can anyone help I have a 2016 harley Davidson limited low ho 103 cam lift is a 511 stock main reason I'm going in the eng is because it now has 35,000 + I wanna do the tensioners but since I'm going in that department I might as well do the cams any gear heads help please I'm stuck ss 551,woods 555 andrews 57 H I came from the sport bike family some years back I normally stay in the department of shifting around 2,000 2,500 unless I wanna get away then we'll I shift around 3,500

Gear Drive system they cause you a lot of problems too that pinion run better be inspect chain driven cam setup a smarter

If I did all the work of changing cams and realized I had lost toque at low rpm, I would be very disappointed. Example: I removed the factory exhaust and installed vance and hines longshots. I liked the looks of them on other bikes and the sound. But to my disappointment I lost about 1/3 of the torque below 3000. I was giving it more throttle to get moving and having to rev a lot higher than with stock mufflers. Mileage was down too. I later learned it was due to the vance and hines not having a crossover tube. Something about better scavenging of the cylinders. I read several dyno tests and the pipes with crossover made more torque. I'm a cruiser kind of guy, so it wasn't very long before I removed them and had a friend do a job on the factory mufflers. They are only a bit louder than factory, cops can't tell they were modified, I get better fuel mileage and the low end torque is where I want it. Perhaps you can suggest an S&S gear drive cam that is most likely to give me the low end torque I like. I want to get rid of the cam chain tensioner, I worry about one of them tearing up and damaging the engine.

If the part to install is one beard, I shave my beard short before I do the job. Then I don't buy my next part until my beard grows out long enough to do a three beard part.

What about the s&s 585 cams?

Nice vid. And Lemmy, you either know your shit, or your video guys know how to edit. ??? Always informative. Note... Had to come back and edit comment. Your customer service agent on the phone was less than helpful. The conversation ended with him saying he didn't really know specifics on this kit and perhaps I should call S&S. So I did. Found the kit on Amazon.

TOO MUCH HAND JESTURE CANT TAKE IT.👎👎👎👎
