Default Doing a cam in 103 deluxe

I would like some cam advice. I don't have much knowledge in cams, so I don't know which one I should be looking for. I'm running 13' deluxe SE tunner, v&h true dual, intake... Hardly ever ride 2up and really don't do much touring/mountain long riding

You are going to get a lot of different advice as there are so many choices. I really like the Harley SE 255 cams and even though you dont have a touring bike I still think you would be very happy with them. They make a lot of power in the rpm range where you will be riding most of the time. The mistake a lot of people make, and I include myself in that group, is too choose too much cam. I have always been happier with a milder cam as opposed to a slightly more aggressive one. Other choices, in my opinion, would be the Andrews 48 which is similar to the SE 255 or the Andrews 26 which is similar to the SE 204.

I have SE255 in my bagger, and SE203 (similar to the 204, came w/95cu in. kit in '03) in my softail......

On the lighter bike, riding solo, I would go with the SE204 or Andrews 26....

It will really wake that bike up...!

Enjoy....
