What kind of Cam does a Harley Davidson ev27 have?
The EV27 is almost a replica of the old “L-grind” cam (1981-1991) of the early 90’s, prior to the EPA foot crushing decent HPs…..with exception of the duration. Afterwards, the “N-Grind” cam was introduced, and is shaped like an egg, with no flat area denoting duration.
