Default Is my Harley cammed out?

I just picked up a 2008 Electra Glide Classic. The guy i bought it from inherited it from his father. The bike is in great shape, it has the Harley stage 1 air cleaner and a true dual after market exhaust. The son said that his father planned on having this bike cammed out and he wasn't sure if he did or not. Is there any way to tell if it has a new cam without dismantling the engine. Thanks in advance for your answers.

The only way to know for sure is pull the cam cover. You could pop a pushrod tube and see if it has adjustable pushrods. If it does it probably had the cam chest opened up sometime for something. Keep in mind a mild cam could still use OE pushrods but most guys put in adjustables.
