Why in the world would you want to modify the bike in the 1st place? Did you plan on racing it? Sheesh!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

So you had the dealer install aftermarket parts and don't like the results. What made you pick the woods cam over the SE cams if dealer was doing the wrenching ?
If you're really not satisfied have them take them out and go back to original or SE, this isn't an irreversable procedure. Shouldn't take but a few hours labor. Piece of cake, H-D is not known for rocket science.

I run Woods- The only cam I run! My SG runs like a scalded dog that just been whipped! You might want to call Scott up at Hillside!

Imagine how much better your bike would run with a cam other than Woods.

My 124" arrived today and I'm installing their 9bg.

Why are you throwing Woods cams under the bus? They are a reputable cam company, and it doesn't sound like the dealer is saying the cams are the problem.

Sorry to hear of your troubles and understand the frustration, but your solution will not be that the Woods cams (which did you use?) are bad, but that the installation and/or (more likely) the tune is/are the problem.

tunning problem, yes. Try another shop. I do some work for an insurence company and get to go to alot of houses to take pictures of motorcycles,i do this on my 02 flht. and the stories i hear about things like you are disribing and routine. Sorry your bike is sick but it ani't the parts most likley. Don over and out.

So you are trashing the cams, and not the moron that did the work on your bike?

Take the bike to a real wrench, and then to a real tuner.
