Our catalog record for this one is thin. It only turns up in a single listing tied to 1968, and there's no note on which specific model or engine size it was fitted to. If you're trying to match this against your engine, the safest move is to bring in the old cam or the number off it so we can confirm before you order.
Given how little detail we have on file, treat this as a lead to chase down rather than a confirmed match. Call the shop with your bike's details and we'll help sort out whether this is the right cam for what you've got.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
