After you put in the cams, get it dyno tuned to take advantage of your power commander. Do be careful with how much cam you get - watch the intake durations. Too much intake duration will rob low-mid range rpm power and decrease gas mileage. Look online at HD's screamin eagle/pro racing parts catalog - lots of great hop-up info in there. Do look at the different cams they offer there with the specs so you get an idea of what should work for YOUR application.

Ok so Ihave contacted the dealer and they have recommended the Screaming Eagle 204 Cam kit including push rods and a Dyno tune. I am looking at getting that fitted with the RSD Air cleaner in the picture below. What do you all think please??

I think you will be very pleased with the results. On my 2007 Fatboy I used a Vance & Hines 2 into 1 Propipe, Doherty Machines Power Pac Intake (with power vents) and a Power Commander III. I had it dyno tuned at Speeds Performance. My bike does everything I need it to do for now. I did all the mods myself (except dyno tune of course) and saved HUGE money over what the dealer would have charged. When the top end gets worn, I will do jugs, cams and lifters at that time. I also installed a Screaming Eagle compensator to handle the extra torque. I have a quick, smooth bike now. Good luck with your mods. The sky's the limit if money is no object....

I have been caught in the rain with my open filter. It did not cause a problem. Now,mind you, this was not a torrential downpour. But I would most likely get off the road if that were the case. Light rain seems to be repelled by the oil on the filter. I do have a round cover that goes over the whole filter, but I leave it off unless doing a multi-day trip out of my home area.
