I literally just changed out my Woods 555's for the Andrews 48H's a week ago in my 2014 SGS for the exact reason that you are talking about. The 555's were a great improvement over stock, but as already said, their mid-range cams and I ride that bike mostly 2 up and sometimes with extra luggage. I live in the mountains and play in the mountains so I wanted that lower end torque to pull out of hairpins and grades. Put 250 miles on it yesterday with the wife going to Sequoia NP and back and VERY happy with my choice. I've lost faith in the local tuners around here so I trailered the bike to Bob at RC Cycles in Hayward last weekend for the tune. Happy with that choice as well! I had him use a TTS Tuner on it this time compared to the Power Vision used on the 555's which should not have made much of a difference, but that's the tuner Bob prefered to use. I found myself yesterday cruising in lower gears and RPM's because I was comfortable with the torque there without the fear of lugging the motor. (555's, lifters, and PV up or sale, lol.)

Yep, This is exactly my style of riding except im a flat lander. Illinois is one of the worst states in the union, and is flat and full of corn farms, so I wont be hill climbing any time soon, although Id like too. I would like Fuel Moto to do this work and I can drop the bike off and take the wife to Door County in Wisconsin....... Nice up there. Thanks, for the Input!
Now... that is the lamest hijack I have seen in a long time...
I sold my M8, bought a 2014 Road King. Couldn'
t be happier. question is, anyone running an Andrews 48H cam? Looking at the numbers, I think Im going to go with that one.......... Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
I have a 2005 Rk with 75 K. 95 kit duel slip on's with 574 fueling cams , hydraulic cam plate . I ride solo and i like to ride between 2000 to 3000 rpm's, from 3500 to 5500 this is a stump puller, nice around town and for the road when I pack gear for camping. Very satisfied .
Had the 48H in my '13 Road King. It was a solid low and mid-range performer, especially after I changed out the Bassani DNT mufflers for something with smaller baffles.
Looking like alot of cam knowledge and experience here.....
looking at another thread last night, talking cams, I got confused. Instead of a bunch of conversation quotes, I got one yes or no question for you guys.
I like running between 2 and 3k. I'm running shortshots whick kill low end. WILL I STILL BENEFIT FROM A "TORQUE" CAM DESPITE CONTINUING TO RUN MY SHORT EXHAUST?
Thanx guys, a dude who assumed the "cam guru" in the tread said that tuning a low end cam to my existing as exhaust wouldn't be beneficial. I don't wanna give up the look more than I need the bump.
Short shots lose the scavenging effect so there is reduced torque, not just with a torque cam. You would pick up some lower end just not as much. I just put in Woods 222 cams over the weekend and new head pipe. I was particular about a 2-1-2 header just for that reason. Went with Jackpot.
For whatever it may be worth, couple months back, I talked to a tech guy at Andrews, and asked him about a different set for my '08 FLHT, and he advised going with the 48H series. I ended up going with the Feuling Reaper 525, chain drive, and they work just fine for me. They come on around 1700 rpms, and stay to a higher rpm than I usually go. Not a racer, by any means, but a pretty solid cam anyway. Fun sounding idle with the true duals and fishtails.
I'm looking to do the same as you soon. I have a 13 King with stock motor and slip-ons. Fuelmoto did a cam shootout a few months ago, so also looking at those results. Looking to see if you settle on the 48H.
