Cool 2011 Cross Bones Cams

I own a 2011 Cross Bones and was thinking about adding some cams. Nothing violate but something noticeable and throaty with added power. I'm not very familiar with Harley or aftermarket cams and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this or any suggestions from those in the know?

How a crossbones can look so good and get under my skin even though I have one in the garage is just beyond me.

I hear some great things about the Andrews 48 cams in the 96ci engine. Maybe post your question in the Engine forum. They have some very knowledgeable folks over there.

Your bike is awesome, and thanks for your service.

The right cam for you might be different than the right cam for somebody else. It depends on your riding style, type of riding, what rpm do you spend the most time at, type of roads, solo or two up etc.

This will give you a good place to start.

There is so much information out there and so many brands. I happen to like Andrews for many reasons but Woods has become very popular for the last several years. The Andrews 26 cams are a popular choice for overall riding and give a wide power band, somewhat biased to the Low to mid rpm's. This will give you a lot of get up and go from a dead stop as well as good top gear roll on. Plus since it is a bolt in cam, you don't need to spend a crap load of extra money to get it to run right.

Things like tuning will come up in discussion.

I have to say, that is the nicest crossbones I have ever seen.

I have the retro King/Queen seat as well. It looks really good on your bike, too bad it gouged up my rear fender.

when i installed cams i did sprockets as well and it was a great improvement. i didnt really notice a lot of sound change in my bike but that may have been my cam choice.
