I’m looking forward to the day you get your bike and have it modded your way. We’ve been on these same discussions since I joined here and I can’t wait to see where you wind up!
Yeah Rican is where I first heard the 475c.

And man, I legit could have had my bike 8~9 months ago, but the pandemic hit and basically put everything on hold.
And the year before that, the judge on my case decided to be a total dickbag, didnt look at any of the evidence and denied my case, repeal judges were not happy with him to put it short. The over turned everything he ruled on. I got boned.
But now things are finally moving getting stuff taken care of and if things dont go sideways, fingers crossed for new bike day in spring.
I actually just picked up a new helmet and my helmet cam hardware. I went with an insta360 one R, and an EXO R420.

Thanks for the info as always.

The CR480 is the strongest stock valve lift cam at the moment across the board, probably the RS472 next, the RS468 best left side cam on the market don't care what's after that. The CR482 is supposed to be a better CR480 but I know nothing about that cam ,yet.
Plenty of info on the internet but there's more info riding bikes and swapping cams, till you find what you like. Going to the drag strip, smashing each other at the stop lights you know riding the bikes mate that's how you find out..
ill keep that in mind.
The dynograph they got on their website for the CR480 is showing 114HP and 129TQ in a 114 with a kromewerks 2:2. Seems like a good choice, but I wonder how it'll perform with the shorter exhaust sizes on the Softails.

There's nothing wrong with the S@S 475 either it'll actually hold power up top quite well, it's a great light bike all rounder cam, sure it works on the heavier bikes but the Cruisers free it up a bit..

Zephyr can be blue or purple depending on the light.

Do you happen to have any more dynos or anything with the CR480 cam? Fuelmoto sells it and it does appear to give more power and low end torque, and the lope doesn't sound as obnoxiously bad as the 475C/G.
Kinda reminds me of a more punchy EFI Sportster lope at lower RPM.
If you think this cam Is better I'll put it on my wishlist. I'd like to see more info about it though.
114HP and 129TQ on a 114 is pretty great.

Uh dude, I was asking you because you know more than me. I was pretty much thanking you for showing me a better choice. I literally said if you think it's better I was gonna go with it.
Sorry for basically saying thank you and wanting to know more about this thing you said was better.
Excuse me for being appreciative.
