With lowers the HB is where it gets tight. Won't work on my CVO RK as they have speakers there.

I'd sure like to know the logic for selecting the SE-585 cams with the 117 kit, other than it comes next in line after the SE-259E in the SE catalog.  They're in order of aggressiveness in the catalog, so it must be better...right?  In my opinion, the numbers on SE-585 cams are not good for the 117 kit.  Not to be confused with the S&S 585 cams, those numbers are more apprpriate for the 117 kit in my opinion.  Maybe why only 106 HP.

Thanks for Posting the Video Though,

I think it's just because it's the cam Harley has told you lives 'between' the 255 and the 259.

Thanks for posting. Looks like your bike...nice! Horsepower was 106...seems low or did I hear it wrong?

Well I think the parts choice basically says they aren't looking for high rpm performance.

Mathematically, if your torque curve starts to take a turn down well before 5250, you're not going to be impressed by the hp number.

Also, he used the stock tb so I bet that cost a couple ponies right there

I had the same speaker housings on my 11 flhxse. That bike is the reason I came up with this idea.  Worked perfectly on it also.

looks good...any details on your build, witch cam, was it tuned with this breather? thanx

Headwork-  port, polished and matched to 58mm TB, 3 angle on the valves, 259 E cams because I have had good results with them before. My head guy did say the valve guides took some work to get them where they needed to be.  I like to put miles on mine before they are on the dyno too much. Just my personal preference.

I must have missed that.  When you say "stock tb", are you talking 50mm?  If so, you're probably talking 4.8 injectors too...right?  If I am understanding correctly, why on earth would anyone do that?

I am not understanding your comment, because the SE-585 is outside the 255 - 259 range.

Yeah, especially when the kit comes with the 58mm TB and 5.3 injectors?  Doesn't follow.

There's 2 kits. One is just cylinders and pistons.

Outside of replacing the valve guides, what kind of work needed to be done to the stock guides to get them were they needed to be ?

It is my understanding from him that one was too long and would not allow the valve to open fully at the lift of the 259.

Can head work (port polish milling)hurt the build using the 259 cam?

Oh boy...

Yeah that's what I thought. Good thing I always get my heads worked. Money well spent.

Very true, rant the heavy breather with short filter on my 12 SERG,  Very tight, no speakers in lowers.

Would not fit on my 13 SERK due to speakers.  Thought about trying to make it fit by cutting down the filter mount but figured I would be loosing the big advantages of the Heavy breather, the big filter and the long air intake tube.

Running the Agitator air cleaner with a high flow K&N figure it should flow as much or more than the short Heavy breather filter, especially if I cut the tube down more.

Its making good power with the head work you did for me.
