I've got them and am happy with them. My bike ran ok with the map I was running before I got them. Since I have done a tune and it runs even better. The starter does seem like its working harder to turn the bike over, but so far no problems.

It's more of personal perferance than anything.. They do have good sound too. I'm not getting into anything else about cams, but the 204's are very good cams, and yes they are still in there
I agree with Blk & Chrome on this except if you are going to run a 2 into 1 exhaust, in that case you don't need or want the +4 degree offset. The 2 into 1 will move the torque down the power band by 200 rpm.

The only issue, if you can even call it that, is that it needs to warm up before it will run well. My 88ci will blubber of the first two or three minutes. Other than that I have had zero complaints.

Default dyno sheets on SE 204's cams

Son had them put in his 07 Duece and 09 NT..

I've added the sheet for U so U can see what the cams do.

Hot little cam and good lope at idle for a 96'er,

Our dealer has installed Hundreds of them, it was their preferred cam pick for several Yrs..

As said above they also highly recommended and almost always installed the 4* advance gear to move the line to the left..

below is his dyno sheet of his 07 Duece with V&H's BR's 2-2's



The thumbnail below is his sheet of His 09 NT.. with V&H's BSL's.

Both have the SE's 204's with the 4* advance gear, tuned by the same master turner at the same dealer with the same machine. of course diff time.


U can see the pipes do make quite a diff...

The BR's 2-2 are better in the lower rpm's and flatter across the sheet Than the BSL's.
