I had the woods tw555 cams in my stock 14sgs. They worked very well and would pull away from a friends bike that had the tw222 cams. And they work even better with compression and headwork leaving room for upgrades.

I put Andrews 48H cams in my 05 Fat Boy last winter and haven't stopped smiling since. These cams deliver everything I could have hoped for.

OK, here we go. Another one that is more concerned about how the motor sounds than how it runs.
With respect OneShot, I get it, just don't understand it. However, if a nasty idle is what you are looking for, install the SE204; doesn't get much nastier than that.

Personally, I put 57H's in my stock 103 with air, SERT, V&H pro-pipe and dyno tune. It really woke up my Road King. Torque is there from the get go and stays on through 4700 rpm. On the back roads its a slight turn of the wrist for the power to come on and on the highway, passing in 6th gear is an every day occurrence. Also, I think exhaust will play a key - IMHO going with a 2:1 with the 57H is the way to go.
Good luck- no matter what you do, you'll enjoy it more than stock.

The sound is one outcome of performance. You can have both.
The 204 does have a nice lope.
They make a bike called a Hayabusa if your looking for performance only

I just finished installing the SE 204's and for my riding style I definitely made a great choice. I typically ride solo, use it for running errands around town and day rides 100-500 miles. It is REALLY REALLY rideable. I've got 10' wide glide 96" with a powervision, Rinehart 2-1, and a fuelmoto stage 1 AC. I've only put about 100 miles on it so far but I'm really impressed. It looks like my fuel mileage will also increase as long as I can avoid really twisting the throttle, which is tempting me at every stoplight. Prior to cams, the motor would lug around 1800 rpm and need to downshift. Now, around town I can cruise in 5th gear at 45 mph no problem. It seems to lug more around 1500-1600 now. A buddy of mine who's got an 08 stage 1 street Bob took it out and got it up to about 70 mph an couldn't believe he still had one gear to go. I haven't got to take it on a road trip yet but I'm anxious to see what it'll do.

At 110 in sixth it still has a couple of thousand RPM left before it hits the rev limiter.
