About this product
Upgrade your Harley-Davidson Touring model with the S&S Cycle 551 Easy Start Camshaft Kit. This kit is designed to deliver a significant boost in low-end and midrange torque, enhancing your riding experience from idle to 4000 rpm. Experience improved performance and responsiveness with this high-quality camshaft upgrade.
Description
The S&S Cycle 551 Easy Start Camshaft Kit is engineered for optimal performance in 88", 96", 103", and 106" Harley-Davidson Touring bikes. This kit features an innovative design that initially reduces cranking compression for easy starting. Once the engine starts and RPM increases, the compression release lobe retracts centrifugally, allowing the engine to run at full compression without any performance loss. The 551 cam is a bolt-in solution for stock or mildly modified Touring models, providing a substantial increase in torque where you need it most. This kit ensures reliable performance and ease of installation, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike. The S&S Cycle 551 Easy Start Camshaft Kit is designed to work with slip-on mufflers and 9.0:1 to 9.9:1 compression ratios using a stock starter.
