Default Stock cams?

New Harley owner here. Test rode 3 bikes. One stock 103 HO in a softail, one 103 with stage 1 dual exhaust again in a softail, and the one I bought, a 96 in a dyna w/ a Thunderheader. The 96 ran significantly better than the two 103's. I bought it from a dealer who bought it from another dealer so I have no history on the bike. Picked it up a couple months ago. Not sure if the two into one pipe is the difference since this is mt first Harley. I made a video recording and was wondering if you guys think the cams are stock. I can pull the cam cover but I need to get a gasket first so I thought I'd ask the experts...

doesn't sound stock with the 2/1 but you gonna have to pull the cam cover anyway to see what's in there anyway.
sounds good tho.

If your bike has had a cam change done by a H-D dealer then your selling dealer may be able to check and find the details. On the other hand any such work done by an owner or indy won't show, in which case you're back with memphisharley's answer!

Ok, I guess I should have checked the manual first. I pulled the cover and can't see anything. It looks like I would have to pull the plate and the cams to see what they are. Correct?
