Default cam identification

Short of pulling cam plate,is there anyway to determine cams in my 2009 Road King. I was told the original owner had cams put in. It does have adjustable push-rods,new cam chain slippers.(bought in November,cant ride till about April,damn Northern Winters) TY

Outside of contacting the previous owner you'll have to look at the actual cam itself.

Many moons ago, I installed TW-555 cams in my 2009 Road King. I don't recall any stamp that identified it as being a 555. Very good chance that there was. Memory isn't what it used to be.

That's a query that owners have had going back for many years, when buying a 'new' second bike! I haven't seen a better answer yet, than opening up the cam chest. Even then there is no guarantee of getting the answer.....
