Our sidecar rig has the wrong cam in it, it is one for a light bike. Andrew ev27. I have had to retard the timing a couple of degrees to make it function properly.
Now that we have started to do some traveling with it and know that we love it, it is time to put in the correct camshaft.
Any suggestions?
The motor is stock with a mikuni flat slide carb, fee flowing quiet exhaust. The car is about 200lbs and I am about the same, 40lbs of luggage.
I know some of you have had these in the past. Did you find anything that worked particularly well?
Thanks Joe
I stay with stock timing. All the performance cams raise the power band at the expense of fuel and low end torque.

I had a 1993 FLHS Harley with a TLE sidecar. I had an EV3 cam in it and it did very well for the 50,000 miles I had it. The EV3 is fairly mild and gives good low speed torque. In general, a mild cam is needed for sidecar work. I use the stock cams in my present 2004 Harley Rig.
