Default CAM Question

OK I've got a 2011 Road Glide Ultra and wound like to change out the cam's, but have not been able to find out which cam's are currently in it.
It's a 103 brand new no Eng mods. Can anyone tell me what size the factory is using? It would be nice to have a starting point.

Depending on you riding style you have to go find a cam that fits you and how you ride having a high torque cam is no good if you ride in a rpm range that makes the purpose of the cam obsolete
i recommend going to HD website and go to SE parts book and read about cam choices that will simplify your choice and enable you to decide on a good cam thats right for you.

You have the same cams that are in all 96" motors from '07-'11. IOW, nothing special.

The stock cams are so restrictive because of EPA regulations and HD can't stray too far off as far as stock condition...It is amazing what a set of cams does...I have a Power Commander III and a Andrews 26H cam and it is night n day compared to stock...If you want to wake up the bike this is a good cam, so is the SE255 cam or Woods TW6-6 etc....Many people will have many opinions... it's up to you to decipher the jargon and pick one set that is right for you...Whatever you chose will be better than stock...
Are you looking for the Specs on the Stock cam?...

I got 10 extra hp and tq on my Stage 1 103 by adding S/E 254E cams. Also got the max torque at a much lower RPM.

You get a big bang for your buck by swapping in a set of mild performance cams. Anything is better than the neutered stock cams. Even swapping in a set of 05 cams would be an upgrade, if that were possible. (It's not, different cam drives).
