Anybody here with a 98" build? If so, what cams are you running, and how do you like it? I'm thinking I'm gonna go to 98" in the next few weeks, and can't decide on cams. I'm not looking for big HP numbers, just good cruising, good mpg, and a little uumph when I need it.

 

I did on a Wide Glide 3. 111 hp/113tq with Woods TW9G cams. Good runner in that bike, not sure I would do that large of cam in a bagga' though. I would do a TW7 or 8 though and bet it would be a strong running bike.

 

The woods 7H has been recomended by a builder, and I'm looking at that one. Anyone running one?

 

What compression are you going to be running? That is a big factor in choosing cams. I'm running a 98" with Wild Things TC26 cams at 10.5 which is about the minimum comp for these cams.

This is something that should be discussed with whomever is going to do your head work, not a decision to be taken lightly if you want to get it right.

Hillside Cycles does a lot of 98" builds with the Woods TW-6 cams set up around 10.2:1 CR.

Not sure about compression yet. That's why I'm asking what others have. Not really wanting to mess with the heads right now though. Trying to do this on a smaller budget, with head work possibly done later. Hillside is who recommended the 7h, but also mentioned it would perform better with head work. Just trying to get ideas and comparisons here from different guys.
