Well I finally got around to my winter project of putting some Screaming Eagle 255 cams in the Fat Bob. Before this I was running a stage 1 Fuelmoto intake and map with V&H straight shots. I was great but I wanted more low end torque.

I did get a new map from fuelmoto but it does not seem to be the right map....bike runs aweful!! So I searched around to find another map that would make it run decent till I can get it into the dyno on the 21st. I tried several maps till I found one that runs ok. I used 814-012 for now and will be anxiously awaiting to get it at the dyno tuning session!!!!

Here are some pics of it all!

 

Here are a few more pics!!!! The bearing tools from ebay made the bearings removal and install a breeze.

 

Did it nice and slowing with the manual and all the needed tools....enjoyed every miniute of it!

 

I am wondering what my numbers will be after the dyno tune. My wife and I ride a lot and I am looking forward to being able to use 6th more often at lower speeds.

 

Hi,

Nice one, i am about to do the same with my 96ci, is your fatbob 96ci? I checked the powervision/powercommander site for map and not looking good for map with cams

How many miles on your bike and were the cam tensioners in good order still

Thanks for the report

I had 8K on my bike and everything looked brand new inside. I just waited till I had everything including the right tools and did it my self. The inner bearings was about the hardest part and that was not that hard! As far as a map...yeah...not a great selection. But I have an appointment with a dyno tuner on Friday the 21st. So I just need to wait a few days. Over all not a bad project! I followed the youtube video on the whole thing and followed the directions with my Screaming Eagle adjustable pushrods and had a few beers when I got it done. I did a little bit at a time over a weeks time.

 

Did you buy the Heartland cam bearing tool? That is what I used and it works great. Feels good to do that stuff yourself. Congrats and enjoy!

 

Yep!!!! great tool....and it will get more use as my brother-n-laws roadking is next for cams! By the way...been reading your engine build....very nice!!!!

Thanks, yeah take your time the way to go

Thanks
