Yeah, but how will this effect top end? Doing a slog up from Asheville, NC to northeast NJ, I spent most of my time at 80+. I don't want to make the engine busier for that same speed. I don't really care about hole shots, I'm more interested in having a strong pull at any speed. I also want high rev pull. My bike seems to lose oomph after 4,500rpm or so. I want pull up through 5,500rpm or so.

 

Forget about the 57 cam it requires more compression....)

 

Adds about 245 rpm to every gear,that should also let you rev a little higher in each gear.

 

Have a cam question in a broader sense. With the cam, how does the bike ride? Does it make for a smoother ride, harsher, more refined, raw'er?

 

I guess that would depend on the cam (and the tune). On mine the initial start of throttle seems a little jerkier (maybe tune related and I haven't really ridden it much yet). In all other areas it seems smoother overall with just more "pull" feeling. Not to mention that it keeps pulling throughout the opening of the throttle where with the stock cam it seemed like it would level out in terms of how it "felt like it was pulling" once revs got into the 3900+ (not that I spend much time there). Kind of hard to explain from me at any rate, but it just feels like it has more to give whenever I want it. I certainly don't need to gear down for acceleration as much as I did before.

 

+1 ^ , at 13500 i did lifters with the mr103 and adj. pushrods,(not the quickies) per my tuner. No headwork or compression bump. Although like the 57 the mr103 can be set up to a max comp.ratio of 10.5 to 1( per s & s ), and benefit from headwork like most all cams would. Whatever you choose have a well qualified tune done. By the way the valvetrain is quiet , except for the click made by the ez start cams during shutdown. As you can see there are a handful of bolt in cams that will suit you just fine. Pick your poison and enjoy.

 

Just as the tw-222 and the Andrews 46 obsoleted the the se 255, i think the RedShift 527 has done this to the se204.
As fara lifters go,i would
not feel comfortable running used lifters on a new cam.

 

57h is perfect for stock compression. Gary at Andrews asked no more than 10:1. Some runnning 10.25:1 and any more is too much. The 48 tends to do better with tad more compression than the 57 iirc . There is a lot of choices out there. Riding style, desired rpm range and other mods and or future mods should make the decision more useful. If you plan headwork and or bigbore then wait and ask your builder whats best. If no plans for anything but cams then call and talk to few mfr's and explain your riding style and what you want out of the cam and you will find what you need.

 

Hi,

At 5,000miles you could bolt those cams in and probaly re-use just about everything if in good condition when you dismantle (the motor nothing special, just an internal combustion engine)

There a chart in SE catalogue which provides guidance on pushrod for SE cams and pretty sure stock are fine with se204

If you take tank off you are in for a pretty cheap mod on your dyna with probably all up at about $300
Thanks

 

I've been thinking more on this mod and I'm liking the idea of this mod more and more. I've seen a couple of walk through videos on install and it makes the cam install look easy.

Any idea how much $ this typically costs to have installed?
