Default 2014 cams

I already have the intake, headers, mufflers, and tuner. I ride close to the 3000rpm range, vary rare getting up to 5000rpm's. Can i get some feedback for a good cam option? Thanks.

It would help to tell us what model your bike is. IIRC the water-cooled Rushmore engines have different cams to the air-cooled ones.

I have heard conflicting word on this very topic. Are you sure that's the case? My understanding is that all 2014 HO 103s have the same cams. The dealer told me that my limited has the same cams as my buddies 2014 SGS. From my research they are all 255s wethead or not.

They are not 255's, a close rendition to my understanding.

The 2014 cams are not 255. The cams in the HO 103 are the same in all Rushmore bikes the difference between the wet heads and air cooled is compression air cooled is 9:7-1 the wet heads are 10-1

That!
I'd run Andrews 57s either way. Proper tune is the key!

Default S&S cams

I run S&S 551's with a CERT and good dyno tune, stripped the stock headers and cat. pull hard with great mid and low torque!!!! Master wrench at Indy North suggested them to me. To each is own though... just my .02$ Might want to look into them online before making a decision, very popular cams round here. they have a great website with comparisons

Andrews 57, Andrews 48, SE 204, Fueling 543, with the right tune they will all work fine. The 48 will come on at lower rpm, then the SE 204, then the 57 next then the 543 will come on latest, but will carry out better at the rpm you said you like to run. I all honesty with good tune on all you would be hard pressed with seat of the pants to tell the difference.
