Default For the money

Harley part number- 29490-99A, old stg 2 88" kit. Think it comes with 203 cams, all gaskets, bearings, clutch spring. For $260.00. That being said the seller has it listed for touring bikes. Mines a 2003 fatboy, but it should work right? I know there are much better cams out there particularly for what I want tw37b or woods w6, but for the money. I might see if I could get them to give me the 204's instead, but its a nos part at a dealer they just want to get rid of.
I currently have a stg 2 big sucker, rush racing products 2-1, and cobra fi2000r programmer on my bike.

Thoughts?

If that's just the cams and the gaskets not a big bore I don't think it's that great a deal, especially if you don't want those 203's. If your going Andrews 37's or Woods you will need to bump compression, probably won't use the HD head gaskets, so what are you really using out of the kit?? The push rod tube rings and the rocker box covers?? Clutch spring??

It is only an "88" kit. Retail $499.95.

As mica pointed out, the benefit comes from bore and a compression bump. My Stage II 95" from the factory came with 203 cams and they helped the bike put out 80 hp, when a stock 88" puts out around 60 hp. That's a 33% bump.

So get the 95" Stage II or don't bother IMO

Thanks guys, that's kind of what I was thinking. I have to stop by there tomorrow for something else, so I think I will bug them and see if they will swap the 203's for the 204's, probably not, but never hurts to ask.
