Default se 204 cams

Well guys I broke down and out cams in the bike. Did a lot of reading and decided to go with the se 204's. All I have to say is best decision I've ever made except buying the bike. Pulled 84 horse and 100 torque bike rides great. Lost absolutely nothing on the low end and gained alot up top.
Will post the dyno sheet tomarrow just thought you guys might like to hear my thoughts on the cam.

which engine did these go in? I have them in my 103 and love them, now I'm trying to convince my buddy to throw them in his 96

Great cams! We also have a dyno sheet sticky at the top of the forum to post your dyno sheet.

I like mine also. But find it hard to hate anything thats free! But I also did high comp 95" at the same time,so I dont know what made the biggest increase. I am at 92hp and 95tq. with the big radius 2-2. I think I will have to run it with my Python 2-1 and see if it picks up some tq.

The bike is a 2009 night train. Motor is a 96 inch with a se heavy breather and big radius 2-2. I'm just glad I got that big ole 200mm rear to put the power down lol.

Thanks for the great post. I have done many a search about cams and I am pretty sold on the 204s for my 95 inch Fat Boy. They just seem like a great fit for my bike and what I expect out of it. And another post confirming this is great to read.

Another 95'er with 204's here. Like the OP stated, there's not a hug boost down low, but you can tell the power difference in the higher RPMs. Almost reminds me of my VWs that were turboed when the turbo hit full boost and rocketed you forwards.

i was going to go with them in my 96" deuce, waited month and a half and they were still back ordered thru the dealer, so i got pissed. cancelled my order, called Fuel Moto and ordered Woods 555s and best mod ever... now my bike runs like it should, hang with my buddies 103hp SG, and can actually beat him at the stop lights. but i do have a weight advantage on him...

But after doing more dyno chart searching and talking to jamie glad i went with the woods.
