Default 2016 CVO ultra Limited

I put this in the General forum left it for a few days and got no response so I figured I would try it here.

My bike is a 2016 CVO ultra, I don't necessarily want to do a big bore. I was thinking heads, and cams. My understanding is you can raise the CR by milling the heads or Changing to a thinner head Gasket? I was thinking about having Hillside Port Polish. What cams would you guys suggest, for a stock bore 110 I was reading a thread about this and some one mentioned the SS 570. I am currently changing out my Lifters for SS and installing some SS adjustable Push rods. When I am ready to do the heads and cams is replacing the Stock cam plate and oil pump necessary? I know I will need to replace the inner bearings. I don't need or want a race engine, I spend most of my time riding in the mountains or Northern CA and North west Nevada. My current exhaust set up is a Fullsac 2-1-2 head pipe and stock muffler cans with Fullsac 2" baffles. Intakes is a stock intake with KN filter, and DIY external breather. I would not be opposed to changing exhaust but if I don't have to would rather not spend the extra money. I am waiting on a PV3 for tuning, and would take it to a shop in Reno to be dyno tuned. Currently I have bout 34K mile

I did a mild 113' kit on my 2012 CVO 110. I left the Andrew's 57 cam in. WFO Larry did the heads, nothing fancy or radical. TTS Dynotuned. I cannot remember the HP or TQ numbers.

The reason I had to do this was I had previously had just the heads cleaned up and behive springs and new valve guides put is as PREVENTATIVE to avoid blown lifters. But one of these AV&V springs broke.

Silly me.

The 113 was fun to ride. Cost back then in 2017 was about $2000 for everything. Shamrock in Austin did the 113.

(Redacted) in Ft Worth did the work on the heads that ultimately failed.

The reason I answered was you basically want to do just the heads and cam. I suggest you find someone you trust and discuss their packages. Rideability is everything. (Avoid Ft Worth)

Pump & plate not needed.

If you are going to send the heads to Hillside , use the cam they recommend

Scott does like the 570 but it may or not be the best choice for your build

( FWIW, ( nothing) I have the 570`s in a 98" and like them
