I'd choose neither of the two.

But that's my preference. You need to post what you are looking for.
Cruising torque? Top end power?

I had Andrews 26H cams in my 07 Ultra. It was a pleasure to ride, had a lumpy idle too...I hear that Andrews has come out with a new Bagger cam but have no info about it.

Depends on how you ride, I had 211s in my bike, and I had to rap it pretty tight , it likes high rpms , worked ok , if you ride like that...it makes good power from about 3000 to 5,000 rpm.

I dont think either of them are great for your riding style.The SE255 will fall off to early,& the SE211 is to much cam for a stock motor.If you want the best of both worlds for a stock 96ci, & you want to stay with SE the SE204 is your best bet!!! There are better cams out there though!!

Do a search in this forum by typing 48H. That will lead you to the cam you may want for power and torque to do two up riding. I just purchased that cam after talking to Andrews directly for a recommendation.
