Default HD 255 Cams

Can I put HD 255 Cams in a stock 96" motor?

You can, I'd recommend seeing if your dealer has a big bore/cam installation deal, you'll get a bigger bang for your buck.

I got a guy giving me a good deal on them if they'll work. Less than $200 for cams, pushrods and springs.

I would have to get them installed on my own. Just trying to figure out if they will work and if its worth it.

That's a good deal on the parts. One of my riding buds has them in a 07 Road Glide. They sound and perform real well, but he has a full stage 2 setup. I'd buy them and do a big bore kit at the same time when I installed them. It won't cost that much more, and it's a pretty good bang for the bucks.
