Reaper 505 / 515 Cam / '00 & Up Sportster

A split lift camshaft that widens the powerband on a stock Sportster and gives it a distinctive exhaust note, using the pushrods and springs already in the motor.

Most cam upgrades ask for a shopping list: pushrods, springs, sometimes head work. The Reaper 505/515 is built to go into a stock Harley-Davidson Sportster without any of that. Feuling splits the lift, running .505 inch on the intake and .515 inch on the exhaust rather than matching them, which is what produces both the broader pull and the sound the cam is known for.

Important Notes

• Feuling recommends new lifters when fitting this cam. They are not required, but a worn lifter is the usual reason a new cam does not deliver what it should.
• ⚠ VERIFY your compression ratio and exhaust setup before ordering. Cam choice depends on what the rest of the motor is doing, so call us if you are unsure what your Sportster is running.

Common Questions About the Reaper 505/515 Cam

Do I need new pushrods or valve springs?
No. Feuling designed this cam to run on stock pushrods and stock valve springs, which is what makes it a straightforward upgrade.

What is split lift?
The intake and exhaust lobes are ground to different lifts, .505 inch and .515 inch here, rather than the same figure. It is what gives this cam its powerband shape and its sound.

How does it compare to the Reaper 580?
The 580 is the more aggressive grind. The 505/515 is the one that goes into an otherwise stock Sportster.
