Race Series Camchest Kits for Twin Cam
Oceanside, California based specialist Feuling Parts'
complete camchest kits include all the necessary
components from top to bottom of the camchest,
conveniently packaged under one part - "these
combination kits not only ensure each individual part
is designed to work and function together, but to do
so in total harmony and take the guesswork out of
the ordering process, providing the engine builder
maximum reliability, peak performance and the
coolest engine/oil temperatures obtainable," says
Feuling CEO Luke Leatherman.
The kits include a Feuling high volume oil pump, high
flow camplate, Reaper series camshafts, hydraulic
roller lifters, adjustable pushrods, Timken bearings,
gaskets, O-rings, exhaust gaskets, high grade ARP
fasteners, washers, moly paste, Loctite and hardware.
The kits have been proven to deliver 25-35 degree
cooler engine temperatures; 15-30 degree cooler oil
temperatures; 15-30 more lbs of oil pressure; quieter
and smoother engine operation and eliminate wet
sumping, blow-by and oily air cleaners.
The chain drive conversion kits include conversion
camshafts for '99-'06 Twin Cam engines that update
the old mechanical style cams and tensioners to the
new hydraulic tensioner system. The chain drive
conversion kits also include the sprockets, hydraulic
tensioners, chains and spacers needed for
installation.
Reaper series cam options for the Twin Cam Race
Series kits include the 574 with its "extremely smooth
cam lobe design, creating a very smooth valve train
motion," described as ideal for the 2,100 - 6,500 rpm
range. Performance valve springs are required on '99-
'04 engines, and performance pushrods and lifters are
recommended.
"This cam gives a wicked power band for modified
engines and is an excellent bolt-in for stock 96", 103"
and 110" engines. It responds very well to modified
cylinder heads, increased compression ratio,
performance exhaust and intake systems - this is a
great all-round camshaft with solid low end
performance and mind blowing mid and top end
power," says Leatherman.
Also available for these Twin Cam kits, the 594 Reaper
cam requires high-performance valve springs,
pushrods, lifters, carburetor and/or throttle body
work, performance exhaust, intake and clutch.
"Large displacements respond well to increased
compression ratio, and smaller displacements will
require it. This is a fiercely performing camshaft for an
array of engines sizes, large displacement 103", 110"
and 124" engines looking for a superior torque band
with excellent horsepower gains in heavy bikes
(2,200 - 6,250 rpm) and smaller, high revving
displacement 95" style engines in lighter bikes
looking to twist the throttle and tap into some
horsepower (2,500 - 6,800 rpm)."
A final option would be the Reaper 630 cam, which

and Splined Shaft Kicker Models
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
maintains low end performance with "eye blurring
mid and top end power. It delivers vicious power
gains, a wide streetable power band from what is a
high-lift profile camshaft for high-performance
engines with highly modified cylinder heads and
compression ratio - great in the 2,500 - 6,900+ rpm
range."
Carburetor and/or throttle body work will be required
along with a performance exhaust and intake system,
high-performance valve springs, pushrods and lifters.

BDL's enclosed SK-2 drive - part #61-39-SK-
2 - is designed specifically for fitment to
1955-1964 H-D Big Twins. The "S" in SK
stands for splined engine shaft and the "K"
stands for kickstart only.
This is an 8 mm enclosed primary drive kit
that accepts the OEM clutch hub most
commonly known as the 3-finger hub. The
61-39 indicates sprocket tooth count, 39
front and 61 rear. These two pulleys are the
smallest BDL makes for the early model
bikes in 8 mm.
The kit will work on several other splined
shaft kickstart models. BDL also offers this
conversion for tapered shaft models 1936-
1954.
Retro Style Fork Protectors
A hallmark of the streetbikes of yesteryear, the
advent of chromed, polished, DLC and anodized fork
tube finishes saw the use of fork boots diminish to
the point where there are very few major brand
middleweight and above models that come with
them as stock.
However, they are one of those finishing touches that
convincingly "speak retro", adding a touch of
authenticity, and they do still have a role to play -

extending seal life and protecting those expensive
fork tube finishes from the rigors of street riding -
especially in bad weather and in urban settings.
Made of heavy-duty, ozoneresistant
rubber, they fit 39 mm
tubes and come with an extra rib
for a "more relaxed look".
