Lopey Cam
One of my questions are that see the SE211 cam is stated to be for a carb motor? And does anyone have any part numbers for the 203,204 and 211 cams that will fit a 96"? I am guessing that since a 96" is a stroked 88" that cams that fit the years thru 06 should be a proper fit for 07 thru 10?

Man, I guess I'm the only one, or at least one of the only ones using a SE 203. Bought them because we found my stock cams to look oddly worn, and the 203's were not much more than buying new stock cams, and seemed like a safe , mild upgrade. Some days I like em, and other days i don't. I like to ride in the 2500 rpm range, which is not where that cam seems to live, at leas to me. Above that, and that thing pulls better than stock. Of course, I'm running Rhinehart True duals, which isn't helping matters. Mine is an 05 FLHT w/ a carb, which is rare I guess, and cool I think, so it sounds a little better than EFI I guess,a nd the cam helped that sound a bit too. Didn't do my homework on the 204's, wish I'd've checked into those.

I think the SE203 is a good match for a carbureted 88 touring bike. If you think the motor is not coming on until after 2500, it might be in the tune.

quick question since I am researching cams....you had posted " the lobe profiles and grind characteristics chosen by the COMP CamsŽ engineers produce a combination of early exhaust valve opening"
doesnt the early exhaust valve opening produce low end torque as opposed to a later opening? Does the SE204 perform well 2000-5500 w/o any other mod?

From my learning experience, the early opening EX Val. bleeds off cyl pressure resulting in less bottom end but helps scavenging at highter rpm.
Later Ex opening helps lower rpm tq by keeping pressure on pistons longer
The earlier the Intake closes is what most look for (the lower the more) for low end tq..
Here are a few videos of Wood Knight Prowler cams:

Thanks for the info guys... I posted this and actually forgot that I did.... I feel like a terrible forum parent! lol.
Alright, to add to the debate, and to defend what I originally said... The stock performance of this bike is fine for me. Its a touring bike, not a race bike... With that in mind, my bike has a very old school look, and I wanted to try and get the old school sound. This is my first fuel injected bike, so I am in pretty unfamiliar territory. I love the sounds of the SE 211.. That might be the way to go for me. I have the SE adjustable pushrods, the non tapered type (the tapered type were on back order for nearly two months when I was changing my guides) Think there will be any rubbing issues with the pushrods?
Thanks!
