2018 Road glide CVO
Dear all,
i have bought 2018 Road glide CVO - 117.
It has 18.000,00 miles.
I previously ownes 110 CVO Street Glide.
I am not happy with the sound of new bike.
I decided to ho with Tab Performance Zombie bafles, to remove the cat in head pipe.
I also decided to change camshat. I have dilema to go with RS 468 or S&S 475?
can i change only the shaft or i have to change anything else?
Do I need to do tuning (wich tuner)?
What you recomemd?
Thank you very much
Kind regards,
Bostjan

2018 had the old oil pump, if you are changing the cam, you’ll want to change the oil pump, lifters and push rods. You’ll need a tuner like Power Vision and someone to tune it.
Either cam will work to improve power, but I would look at a Cycle Rama cam like the 480MT or 483. The exhaust set up you have chosen will hurt the low end torque, might want to consider different baffles. With a cam and proper tune, different baffles will still sound good but not hurt low end. The other exhaust to consider would be the KW 2/1/2 with louvered baffles in the KW 4.5” mufflers.

H-D Milwaukee-8 117″ Camshaft Shootout
https://university.fuelmotousa.com/a...haft-shootout/
The Zippers Red Shift RS-472 and Wood Performance WM8-22XE Look like good choices to me.
Since it is a 2018, you have to consider the OIL Pump!
You need to change it if it's the OEM and I always go with 'new parts on new parts' so that would include:
- Pushrods
- Lifters
- Inner Cam Bearings
- gaskets & o-rings
I just realized you are in Slovenia, so If I were you, I would email Fuel Moto and start a dialog with them.
I can't speak highly enough for their Customer Service and Tech Support.
Good Luck with your build!
