The term cam gets used for either, so it's ambiguous. The correct, and accurate, terms would be lobe(s) and camshaft.
thats why i put that in there, lobes on the camshaft they didnt have 4 Cams from your previous post, one camshaft knuckle trough Evo, twin cam with 2, M8 back to one, and iron head and Evo based Sportster 4
If ever I start talking about selling my 95 Heritage, put me in an insane asylum or a nursing home.
I am starting physical and occupational therapy on my hand, arm, and shoulder in about a week, with the goal being to get back to riding it.
Every time I see one I wish mine hadnt been wrecked. My plan was to buy a new Heritage but keep the old one as well. It just didnt work out that way.
Heres wishing you the best and hoping youll be riding that beautiful bike again soon.
I still have that tee shirt and the shovel I was riding when I got it in 1986 in Sturgis
Good luck on finding a decent FRX , I looked for a couple years for one or a FXRT that hadn't hammered to death. Said screw it and bought a 17 Road King when the M8's came out.
How has that been for you? Since you are hands on, any issues?
I'm late to Harley Davidson. My 1st an 09 Vrod, 2nd 13 CVO RG, 3rd 16 FLSS, and now a 13 Street Glide. Other than the Vrod which had a great motor & transmission, I've been stuck in the TC era. No problems at all with these motorcycles. The crappy quality my younger self believed about Harley Davidson was proven wrong with these problem free motorcycles.
My neighbor in Albany NY was the 2nd owner of a 1983 Softail, I could have picked up for $3,000. The gas tank was not original, the owner put a bigger one on it. Not sure why that bothered me but I was tight on money and was not riding enough to justify a 2nd motorcycle. Did I miss out on a good opportunity? Could I have flipped it? It was in good running shape, we rode together a few times. This was 2 years ago.

The 17 RK did lose the rear head gasket at 1000mi. had the common clutch switch headache for a bit, lubed that and been fine since. Aside those it's been plug and play, the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Had none of the issues everybody swear they all have like sumping or the oil transfer bit. But I don't beat the the snot out of it either, got the shovel for those feeling frisky times.
I picked up this 1995 Dyna Convertible a few weeks ago. All original except the V&H pipes and a Screaming Eagle air filter. The paint is nearly perfect and theres hardly a speck of dirt on it anywhere. 14000 miles on the clock. Its my first big twin Evo and Im loving it. Its a little underpowered compared to my other bikes but its still plenty fast enough for me and its super comfy.
