i know this has been asked a thousand times, but bear with me.
bike is a 2004 88" fatboy. big sucker intake. vance and hines big shots with baffle. and power commander III. stock besides that and dont plan any other motor upgrades.
im 2 knuckles deep in changing out my cam tensioners to cyco pads. Measured my runout and got .0045" so no gear drive for me.
figured since im in here, i should change my cams for a bigger smile.
im 175 pounds and ride a little bit of everything, single, two-up, city and interstate. but i really never get too high in the rpms.
Wondering what cam would be the best change for low-mid rpms on this mid-weight bike.
I have an '03 Heritage with a big bore 95ci kit. I put 26s in that bike and it runs really well..... It had SE203 cams in it, and runs better with the 26s...
I have a new to me, '01 Springer and need to address the cam tensioners. I'll be putting 21s in that bike. It's a stock 88ci.
From what I've read, the 21s will have a little lower rpm grunt than the 26s, and the 26s benefit from a little higher compression than the 21s..... Thus my decision to go 26s in the big bore and 21s in the stock 88....
Either way, get a good tune and it will much better than stock.....
