cam identification

I'm trying to identify a cam that cam out of a 1995 road king. Numbers on end of cam are 560V and 33181. Can anyone tell me if this is an aftermarket and what it might be? Thanks

Sounds like an older S&S cam. They used to make a 560 and the numbers 33-181 are typical of S&S's numbering system.

Yep,
Jsachs1 wins. I looked it up and sure enough. With that 13-181 I woulda bet it was an S&S but, nope.

Thanks John, found it in the catalog and ordered right after posting. Seems like an unusual cam choice for Road King with a rider topping 350 lbs, but gentleman liked the way the bike felt, so I'm going back in with same cam. (roller on lifter shot and ground the cam up fairly bad)

That cam moves power and torque to the right.Prolly not good with all that weight,IMO.
