Default Best Cam for 2013 RK

Looks like SE 255, SE 204, or Andrews 26?
This is for my daily rider, 2013 RK, ex-police, 103, 6spd, 160 mile road trip to work. Bike will be stock other than pipes, cams, Power CDR and Dyno tune.
Looking for good low and mid-range torque, want to be able to cruise at 65 and accelerate to 85 for passing without down-shifting. Most 90% of the ride is highway miles cruising at 60-70 mph. Surfin around these are the cams I came up with...

Look into TTS-100 cams.

I've got the SE 204's in my 96 inch and the 2007's taller gearing and on mine, it has great response and power in 6th from just under 70 mph. With the extra displacement and your better gearing, this should work even better. The lift isn't so excessive putting extra strain and noise in the valvetrain but it still performs great to 6k rpms. I've got 85k miles on the original engine. When I enlarge it, perhaps to 110 with harley's new bolt in kit, I may stay with the SE 204's. The torque this cam would generate at this displacement would be great.

Of the cams on your list, I'd go with the SE 204.

If you want to do some more looking around, I'd suggest the Wood TW-222 as a "cam only" choice for a every day touring bike.

Good luck with your answers. It's like asking 1,000 guys which of the Miss America contestant is prettiest.

Default RK Cams

Yes, many choices for sure, and I know this type of question is asked all the time. I really just wanted to hear what people with my setup were using and how they liked it. I will probably go with SE 204 or SE 255, not looking for big Dyno numbers, just a quicker bike...

The Bob Wood TW-222 is good for Low-End to midrange. You can go to Fuel Moto's website to see dyno charts.

My bolt in 103 choice is Andrews 57. That is what they were designed for and they are proven performers. Oh and friends don't let friends run 255s in 103s+.
