Can anyone help me identify what cams these are? Was told 255s but no marking that say that. Will try and get better pic but this is what I have now. Thanks.Attachment 405657

SE255 cams will have a CVO-255 stamped on the side of the cam. If that is the only stamping then they are not SE255's.
Most all cams are stamped on the inside lobe.
Even the Andrews 37's we just used on a 98"/51 HPI/Bassani pipe/our Stage II heads/10.0 cr that was tuned at R&R Cycles, NH, that went 108/111, sae..............

you sure they're not out of a 14 TOURING model at which point they are NOT a 255 but a variation of it. And in the defense of the seller if that's the case it's very easy to get confused on what cam is in there based on all the BS you see floating around on these forums. Different durations to meet EPA guidelines
Them are out of a 2014 or 2015 touring harley. I run a set in my 08 RG and they are a pretty good cam if you are on a budget. They run about like the 255's sort of. I like mine I had 255's and they made to much valve train noise for me and I wanted a little more power than stock so I tried 2014 touring and it runs good and quite as a church mouse. Getting ready to pull them out and do TW222 for a little more power but if noise is to bad I will put the 2014 cams back in and ride. Don't care if the TW222 give me 900hp and 1100tq I will not listen to a noisy valve train. Like people said the after market cams are stamped what they are and the 13 and older cams have the ?????-07 number etched in them and the 14 and 15's have the 254000 number in them.

Sure? The cam was spec'd by a cam analyzer and it specs out identical to a SE-204. These are the numbers on the cams; *1412861735*-*1412868465
