Default Breakout 2023...NO to cam upgrade....

Got my new Breakout was too happy.... fast forward to taking it in for exhaust and the "POWER" cam option. Picked bike up looked at Dyno numbers, SMH think they got worse. 128 fl lbs ...and wait for it ...103 HP..THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY. So please learn from me don't waste your money, and question why doesn't HARLEY post what the cam is let's see the numbers for the cam. That doesn't happen because of the BULLSHIT options they offer just to get you to do the BIG upgrades so they can $$$$$$$$.Don't waste your $$$$..

Don't waste your time/money on Harley's cams. Do your own research, check out fuel moto's website

Your mistake was not researching cams, and going with Harley products

They probably used the SE torque cam 447 but a 117 with that cam should be over 110hp and over 120fibs
