yes harley used to make the braces they would go between the engine and transmission on the right side of the bike and stiffen up the connection for less flexion on take offs. as far as cams go there are many out there like Andrews, S&S, Harley has 1 or 2 good torque cams you'll just need to so diggin to what kind of cam you want for your riding style.
