THE LEATHERWORKS INC Stockton, CA, USA Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.leatherworksinc.com Mount Prospect, Illinois based Andrews Products has “more muscle” available for the 2017 Milwaukee 8 tourers in the shape of three new “dyno proven” cam designs. Their M450 is a “great bolt-in cam choice for stock compression 107” and 114” engines for touring style riding, with excellent low (1000-5500) rpm torque,” says General Manager Mike Pedersen. “Our new bolt-in M460 gives excellent all-around performance in stock compression 107” and 114” engines, as well as the 117” big bore kits with higher compression, with great low to mid (1000-5600) rpm power. “The 460 shows 12 percent more torque and 17 percent more HP over stock 107” cams. “However, our M504 is a great choice for more “spirited riding” in stock 107” and 114” engines and an excellent choice for the big bore kits with higher compression ratios. It is a mid (1500-5700) rpm cam that requires high-lift valve springs.” Mike says that these are just a selection of what are likely to be three of Andrews’ best sellers for the M-8 engine, but additional grinds are also available.
