If I did it again I’d probably go with the TTS100 cam but I get the US warranty concerns. That said, my stage 2 is also all SE and its delivered great driveability to my bike. Enjoy the hell out of it!
Your Stage 2 is a bit of a rare thing here Daniel you've tuned it with a capable tune and tuner, it is not an EPA tune and your cam choice has boomed because of that.It really was a good call to go that way.
Peace.

dcfatboy- Here is final cost. $998 plus a $50 Gift Card (special runs through mid March). Labor cost was $500 (5 hours). Original quote was $1048 but I saved some not needing anything for the oil pump as my bike is a 2019 (edit as I accidentally typed 2018). Good to know they were going to upgrade this if needed.

I rode the bike about 50 miles today and I a definitely happy with the upgrade. The torque increase is 100% noticeable. I’m hoping to ride 2-300 miles Monday also. I have a video but can’t quite figure out how to load it. If you are around Bristow by any chance, feel free to shoot me a PM and you can listen.

Yes it is and I’m very happy with the result. My costing was around 5k but it was done from stock......so headers, muffs, Heavy Breather, Cam, labour and the now unavailable here too pro Super Tuner.......plus the dealer dyno which needed redoing......at the end of the day it’s a pleasure to ride. Peace to you also Goobs.....

Yes it's a shame that in the States the EPA tuner is the only warranty option as there's quite a bit left on the table with the SE cams.
Peace.

I got my quote back from my local Indy over here in Annapolis MD today. Now I did tell him I would provide my own tune (I got from FM) via my PowerVision, so he does no tuning. FM has a tune for the 468 with a 2 into 1 and a Stealth intake. My Stage 1 tune I got from FM was spot on, so I am sure this Stage 2 tune from them will be good and I'll also run a couple of auto tune sessions to fine tune it. I am also providing the 2 into 1 Bassani but he'll put it on since he has to remove my stock header anyway. I already have the S&S Stealth AC already installed. I figured I would do the oil pump and cam plate while they are in there and have them install the AIM slave to make the clutch pull much easier. I have never had a sumping issue, but why not go ahead and do the pump and cam plate with new bearings and gasket etc. I'll have a take off HD clutch slave that has had the recall if someone wants to buy it!

Quote:
2017 FLHRXS
RED SHIFT 468 CAM INSTALL : INCLUDES THE RED SHIFT 468 CAM, S&S CAM PLATE UPGRADE, S&S OIL PUMP UPGRADE, S&S QUICKEE INSTALL PUSHRODS, AIM LIGHT FORCE 2, FLUIDS, BEARINGS, GASKETS, AND INSTALLATION : $2257.85

I priced out the parts separately:
Cam Kit-Zippers 1 x #517-318 Red Shift® 468 Cam Zip Kit for Milwaukee-Eight® - Includes Cam, Gaskets, Cam Bearing, Lifters and Quickee Pushrod Kit w/Chrome Covers +$609.00
https://www.zippersperformance.com/a...8-m8-cams.html

S&S Oil Pump and Cam plate for M8 Oil Cooled 727.95
https://www.sscycle.com/products/oil...cooled-models/

AIM Light Force clutch slave 280.00
https://aim-tamachi.com/collections/...slave-cylinder

So that is ~1600 in parts and 657 bucks in labor, which is very fair for all that IMO! Calling tomorrow to set mine up.
I already had purchased the Bassani Road Rage III Stainless for the bike and that was 1200. So if you include the exhaust, 3450.00 for the whole enchilada!

Do the slip ons for now then just do a catless aftermarket headpipe later once the warranty is done. And maybe a different tuner.

Who are you talking to, the guy from a year ago, or the guy from two years ago?
