I had them with stock gearing in my Dyna, then I lowered the gearing with Andrews 30T power pulley. Even more fun now.

These cams sound exactly like what i'm looking to get in my 96" Dyna, Especially since I have zero plans of ever tearing into the engine. It just irks me when I'm constantly hearing these descripted as a bagger cam! They sound like they'd be a good fit for me but i dont ride a bagger. But I do spend 90% of my riding in the 2,500-3,500 range and when i do get on it i like to rev out to 4,600-4,900 before grabbing the clutch. So you guys tell me are the 48H's cams for me? or should i be looking else where?

Seems to me like this cam would be a blast to ride! Especially with a lighter dyna. That Torque hits 90tq at 2,700 and doesnt drop below 90tq til 4,800. thats pretty much where i ride..

Don't the 57's carry a bit further, but come in a tab bit later (2,800-3,000)?

I feel I'd be over cammed with 57s in a stock 96" motor.

SuedeBlue just finished installing a set on his Bob and another member is about to do it as well.

48 or 57 both great choices.

These are great cams. Perfect for your riding style.

The heavy baggers really need the extra toque down low so they work really well with them, but they run really strong on lighter bikes. They make the bike lots more fun to ride. You'll always have a smile on your face with these cams.

+3 for the 30t gear and the 48 makes the 6 speed gear box MUCHHH more useable
