Calling all MOTORHEADS! Which cams to get for my bagger?
2007 SG...8500 MILES...SERT...BIG SUCKER...2/1 THUNDER HEADER...76HP/89TQ
I want to put a set of cams in at the 10,000 mile service. I am happy with the performance but I want all I can get out of it without doing major work or spending major money. That pretty much stops me at the cams. What would you guys suggest for this application. I ride solo and want it to pull as stronge as possible in the low to mid rpm range. Is this achievable with adding the cams or am I wasting money. I have about 1500 miles to decide.
As always, thanks for the input.

head-quarters.com doug is as good as there is. very nice products and the knowledge to go with it. perhaps his hq-0034 cam, perhaps the hq-0039. i think r&r cycles now has the 525 cam.

I'll second that recommendation for HeadQuarters.................give Doug a call and tell him what you want to accomplish and he'll take care of you.
I'm using the HQ-0034G cam in my 95" build, and I'm very happy with it.

The HQ-500-TC is the same grind as the 0034, but it is for the 07 roller chain setup. The beauty of this cam in a Bagger is that it is very versatile. It'll be great as a bolt-in with what ya have, but if you decide to increase compression and get your heads professionally worked over, the cams will still be great ~ even better, in fact!
Most cams have a very narrow and specific window (compression ratio / head setup / etc) in which they work well. This cam is an exception.
As far as it's power band.... it's a lot like an Andrews 26 down low, but it actually peaks a little higher than the 26.

I have the HQ-0034 in my '04 EG otherwise bone stock 88 with Rinehart TD's (your 2-1 will be even better), SE a/c, and a SERT tune that doesn't ping or pop--PhilM thinks it's one of the strongest running 88" baggers he's seen.

Looks like Headquarters it is. The HQ-500-TC sounds like what I am looking for. I will give Doug a call and keep you posted.

the SE-211 cam is more for a high comp motor i went with the Andrews TW-50 basicly the same as the SE-211 but with just a little more lift but again they are designed for a high comp motor but are about as large as you can go without having to do any type of head work.

Keep in mind a cam that works well in a TC88/95 may not in a TC96. I reference dyno charts seen here on an Andrews 26, an excellent low-to-mid cam for earlier TC's, provides little improvement on a TC96. I know I won't do a cam change without seeing a chart first.

The 96" engine has been out long enough for Doug to do plenty of testing. I would not think twice about going with HQ. Doug is the MAN.................
