About S&S Cycle
S&S Cycle has built American V-twin performance parts in Viola, Wisconsin since 1958 — flywheels, carburetors, cams, cylinder heads and complete crate engines. When a Harley owner talks about a 124, a 128 or a 131 build, they are usually talking about S&S. Few names carry more weight with engine builders in this space.
Unleash reliable torque and improved valve accuracy in your 2006+ Harley-Davidson Dyna or big twin engine with the S&S Cycle 583GE Gear Drive Easy-Start Camshaft.

Its Easy Start design ensures your stock starter can crank the engine with ease, even with higher compression.

The S&S Cycle 583GE Gear Drive Easy-Start Camshaft is designed for riders who demand consistent performance and durability from their Harley-Davidson. By utilizing a gear drive system, this cam eliminates the potential for timing chain flex and lash, which can degrade valve timing accuracy over time. The result is a more direct and reliable transfer of power, translating to a crisper throttle response and a stronger pull throughout the RPM range. Optimized for the 1500–5000 rpm powerband, this cam delivers usable torque precisely where most riders need it for street and highway performance.
