hi,,stealer wants to put 259 cams in my 107, stage 3 build,,,what do yall think about these 259 cams,,, I have a 2007 ultra classic bagger also...

 

There are so many better choices out there. Spend some time reading and make a educated desision vs a science project built by the dealer.

 

i have the 251's which are kissin cousins to the 259's and I like'm. Mike Stegman at Latus in Oregon has a pretty good reputation and recommends them fairly often. I would not be afraid of the 259's with the right compression 10.25+

 

the builder was aiming at 10:4 comp with flat top pistons,107inch and 259 cams,,,he said that it will pull strong on the bottom end ... IS there a better cam for the baggers and will not be hard on my motor with the stage 3 head work,,,i wanted to keep the compression on the low side for a dependable bagger???

 

My belief has always been either you trust someone or you don't, so either you trust this guy to build your motor and give you good advice in parts choices or you don't. The 259's will be just fine now there may be others that will chime in giving you many other brands to think about and will bash any thing done by a dealer or any product branded SE. I have mostly SE parts done by an independent shop but have had good luck in the past with mild work done by a dealer and bad luck with an independent also.

 

your right,,,ill give this guy the build and will trust he will treat me right,,,he is in deed very smart about this build...

 

well, i dropped my bike off at the dealer yesteday morning for the 107 build,,,today i cant wait to get it back,,guess i should have gotten a loner bike to scoot today with it being 70 degrees in eastern nc,, 1st day in 23 years ive not have a bike in the garage or yard,,,not a good feeling,,,really sucks ***....Damm,,,what now....maybe go fishing or maybe 4 wheeling,,maybe not....Jack Daniels possibly.....UHH.....

 

ride out to your favorite fishin spot on your 4 wheeler with a bottle of JD. your darlin will be home soon...

 

I hear ya , I am taking off my rear shocks today to get ready to ship to a buyer so I can put on upgraded rear shocks and it will be 80 here for the next week, it'll cool down and rain when my new shocks arrive though!

 

Where ya at and whose doing the work? If you dont mind me asking.
