S&s Cycle 551g Gear Drive Camshaft Kit

Upgrade your Harley-Davidson touring bike's performance with the S&S Cycle 551G Gear Drive Camshaft Kit. Designed for engines with 96 to 106 CID and compression ratios between 9:1 and 9.9:1, this kit delivers increased power and improved torque across the RPM range.

Description

The S&S 551G camshaft kit is a bolt-in solution for stock or mildly modified touring bikes, offering enhanced low-end and midrange torque, particularly noticeable from 1,000 to 4,000 RPM. This gear drive system enhances valve timing accuracy by eliminating timing chain lash and slack often found in stock chain setups. By reversing the rear cam's rotation, it creates additional clearance between cam lobes, allowing for higher cam lifts and improved performance. This kit provides a significant boost in power and responsiveness, making it ideal for riders seeking more performance from their motorcycle. The S&S Cycle 551G kit is engineered for reliability and performance, ensuring your engine runs stronger and smoother. Upgrade your ride today and experience the difference!
