    I’m a H-D master mechanic with 27 yrs. Experience. I run the fueling 543 “freeway flyer” cams in my 95” TC. In my humble opinion these are the best street cams you can put in your Twin Cam.

    After thirty years and 250,000 miles riding Harley Davidson motorcycles I made the switch to BMWs. Loved my HDs, terrific bikes, I just wanted a different riding experience. I do wished I would have hung on to one of them as I miss the Harley experience. This channel has rekindled my interest in reacquiring a Big Twin, and I'm off to look at a 2013 low-mile Road King in the morning. I'll keep all 3 'Beemers', and with the addition of FLHR, I'm thinking I'll have my bases covered.
    Thank you for helping me decide on the 103 ci GixerFoo - and yes, I'll be installing the Wood TW222 cam as per your suggestion.

Great tune. 31 degrees of timing. Had to put in screaming eagle clutch with heavy spring. Didn't touch the top end. It's amazing. Good manners down low and nuts going up top. Valve springs rattle if you lug it. Still uses very little oil. Would like to do better valve springs. It's running so good I don't want to mess with it. Oh screaming eagle cam plate and oil pump. Better oil pressure now. Fueling lifters.

      So I did the Woods 222 cams, 26000 miles 2015 road king. Replaced the cam tensioners, INSTALLED screeming eagle cam bearings, fueling racing lifters, rocker lockers. EXISTING V&H FP3 . V&H sent me a custom tune. Runs awesome. Just swapped out the big city thunder QQ baffles for the monster baffles. More logical for my bike as the QQ baffles do not fit the correct way in my duel exhaust. Going to have it Dino tuned for 400.00 and call it good. Also got the legend rear shocks and axeo front cartridges. OH MY GOD. Power and comfort. The bike I dreamed of getting the first time I bought it. There was wear on the cam tensioners. Also the Manufacturer put the lifters in backward, the oil slot was facing the wrong way on one head. Way to go, Harley Davidson.

    Checkout the S&S MR 103 cam. I had this installed 2 weeks ago in the easy-start gear drive version. It made 108 torque staying above 105 from 2200-4200, & made 98hp with K&N filter & Freedom 2-2 pipes. Originally the bike made 70hp a massive 40% increase in power from a stock 103cu with the right cam change...

You would have to lag the bike so bad you're doing damage for this cam to not be immediate screaming power on tap. It's perfect for a dyna which is much lighter than the bigger bikes and it's pulling the baggers extremely impressively.

      Late reply but I’m hoping you read it. I eventually had the S&S 585 cam installed along with springs and goodies. My bike was really moving. That was done about 2 years ago. That motor went bad due to a failed primary chain that locked up and bent the crank and my primary case exploded. So on this particular bike it’s now getting a S&S T124 HC, looking forward to this one. But I purchased another bike with a 103 HO and I’m torn between Big Bore 107 Kit or actually doing another Cam installation. My builder wants me to got 574 this time. He’s also has a 107 Kit. But he said it’s up to me, he’s suggestion Cam and leaving my 103 alone since I was fortunate to come across a Low Mileage 103. It only had 1500 miles. I hope you reply me and my buddy always look forward to your knowledge and videos!

    I ride a 2015 Road glide special. I bought it from Classic HD of Reading Pa. As the story goes...one of the owners had the bike built up for a "tail of the dragon" ride he wanted to go on. Beside a bunch of other upgrades, as the story goes, it has Andrews 57 cams installed. More apparent, it had a D&D 2 into 1 and a Performance machine freeflow intake...and I it was tuned (and I still have) the orange (outlawed) HD tuner it was tuned with originally and I also have a V&H fuelpak 3 that I bought to make adjustments to the tune when I made a change.
    The bike, as purchased, was insanely loud at first. I bought the quiet baffle from D&D but that only quieted in down so much. With the original baffle, it will easily peg the speedometer ...pulling hard all the way. With the quiet (louvered) baffle, it will hit 120 but it takes a bit longer ( I have a 3 mile strip of smooth highway I test it out on a few times per week in the summer)...
    My only complaint about the cam is that it's tougher to ride slow and I think it makes the bike loud (I've changed the pipes to a complete V&H dual system but that only decreased the power but it was still loud). With the perforated baffle it screams, it's plenty strong with the louvered baffle too...but it's still really loud.
    Is there a way to make a 103 quiet but pretty powerful and nice to ride at slower cruising speeds. I love my bikes power. It'll run with nearly anything but it's loud and a choppy when I'd like to go slow and quiet.

    Sir,
    Thank you for this video. I almost upgraded my 2011 ultra limited with screaming eagle cams. After watching this video, I went for the wood performance TW222 cam shaft. This was the best thing I cohld have done. My harley had the screaming eagle stage 1 with RC excalibur exhaust pipes. The sound bevame deeper and louder with the TW222 cam shafts. I also change the cam plate and oil pump with s&s brand. Now, she roars and move with a purpose. Thanks again!!

I do not know what cams are in it but the local Harley shop was doing free dyno runs "so they could tell you what they could sell you to make more power" I took a chance and when I was shown the numbers was surprised . it made 88HP and 104 ftlb torque. the Service guy shook his head and said I can't do much for you with out more money than you will want to spend "He was right". I wish I knew what cams are in it but the one good thing is my brother has the same bike except he has the Harley tuner and stock cams. I walk him hard on the highway roll ons to 110 MPH.

    I chose the S&S MR103 easy start cams, a .585 lift, the MR stands for medium range. It seems to be a good match. The advisor at S&S assured me I don't need to change anything like valve springs or port and polish the heads($950 for that!). The dynamometer showed 98hp at 110 lbs of torque, not bad. I think people overlook S&S due to them being so well known and probably think they are too old school and conservative. There R&D probably is top notch and are truly a proven company. I also changed to an S&S cam plate and oil pump setup, and have the V&H FP3 tuner.

    So what is your thoughts on the andrews 57h cam? I was looking at the tw 555 and got suggested the 57h by a guy that use to dyno bike and by V&H as they said they had a lot of maps for them. One thing I like that the dyno guy told me about the 57h cam was it has a lot less valve train noise due to the it is ground on the back side of the lives.

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Andrews actually makes the cams for Wood, but they are ground to Wood specs. Andrews 57H is a solid cam, you can't go wrong with Andrews or Wood. There are more maps out there for the Andrews as they seem to be much more well known.

    Hey GixxerFoo, Im torn between the Woods & the S&S. I have a 14 SGS with Bassani true Dual, Arlen Ness Big Air sucker and an FP3 tuner. I love hot dogging it on the streets and I do a lot of freeway riding. Any recommendations between the 2? Also I noticed the S&S 570 cams are always followed by a letter. Which one is in this review? Thanks, keep up the good work!

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For me with a touring bike I would have to with the Wood TW-222, that cam's power is just so broad and it works very well with the heavier bikes. Best thing to do though is really watch your riding habits to make sure the cam you like makes power in the RPM range you ride.

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For touring bikes the Wood TW-555 or the TW-777 are excellent choices, high torque and great horsepower. The TW-555 is a good choice if your keeping the heads stock and just running pipes, air cleaner and a good tune. Now TW-777 is a better option if you plan on doing some head work and bumping compression later on. Both cams are a straight bolt in so you won't have to worry about valve springs or anything else.

I'm not sure when, it could be sometime in 2021, but for the time being I'm not riding much in the summer heat here in Australia, and my next purchase will be a new rear tyre, so will spread the cost out a bit. I do envisage that a cam upgrade will have me consume more rear tyre wear, so that's the price I expect to go with the cam job :)

If you’ve already covered it in another video please direct me to it.

    I came back to watch this video again after 2 years and I can see in my comment that I was leaning towards a Woods Cam. What I did instead was replacing the Camplate and the Oilpump with a Feuling high torque Camplate and a Feuling High pressure Oilpump + of’course Torrington needle bearings. Then I went with an S&S 575 Cam kit with new S&S Hydraulic lifters and adjustable S&S Pushrods, made my own external Top-vent in connection with a S&S Teardrop Air Cleaner Kit. It runs and pulls like a Train absolutely NO problems and that emphasizes using quality ALWAYS pays out…, I have 50 years of riding and building experience… NEVER EVER go with cheap Eastern Engine parts if you call yourself a biker/builder…then you can look yourself in the mirror with good conscience and pride 👍🏻🇺🇸✊🏻☠️😉

    • @GixxerFoo

      You absolutely did the right thing right there going with top quality parts and not skimping on anything! Yes it cost more up front, but what's that cost compared to a failure on something that was cheaped out on when it wipes your expensive parts. The benefits far out weigh the little bit of savings on cheaper parts.

    Like he said how are you going to ride your bike and what kind of bike do you have. That zipper would be great for a touring bike but maybe not for your dyna Street hooligan so do the resurgence before you pick how you tune and let someone sell you something you're not going to like. There are many who will try to get you to buy something that doesn't fit your style of riding so do your own research then you can talk to friends dealer or tuner and have some idea if they are telling you the truth.
