I'm looking at an ebay posting of a guy who says he's got screaming eagle cams in his XB12... has anyone done this? Is it even necessary? My understanding was that the XB12 already has hopped up cams in it. What else can you get out of this?

Here's his ad:

Thanks!

I don't know I was told the the cams turn opposite directions in the Buell and HD motors.

Even if the cams turn backwards the profile is mirrored.

You can def. get more out of the bike, but you will start to sacrifice longevity for it.

A non bwb sponsor hd performance shop offers se .536 cams and apparently sells a lot of them due to the power increase but keeping the power "streetable". I would love to use them if I had the money but don't know about their effect on engine longevity..

The XB profile is the same as the S.E. bolt-in performance cam for '04-up XL's. There isn't anything in the S.E. catalog that's a direct bolt-on for a Buell XB.
