damn goid numbers. Bike is going to feel like a rocket ship lol. Looking at the numbers though, I can't tell if HD does have the chart lines between the two cams flipped lol.

Take note...I found out the hard way how wide that front tire is. After Bob “thought” he secured my bike, and while he was gabbing away with us, Joe and I watched how my bike in slow motion, as if a tree came down, fall out of the dyno onto its left side. I was frozen sitting there looking at the bottom of both tires staring me in the face. “NOBODY MOVE” comes out of Bobs mouth. It was like time just froze for about ten seconds. Well, after carefully getting the bike back up I was very lucky, one broken mirror and a very very small scratch on the rear fender.
Bob should have caught the fact the front tire did not lay flat in the tire choke, **** does happen but he should have caught that. All good however.

Something to think about. Bob told me he put this same cam in his new Bagger and actually lost torque down low after install. After some investigating, he has determined that Harley measures its numbers at max torque, not down low where most of us ride. He said the stock cam makes more power down low then the 447.
I just received a woods 22x from FM and Ill be putting this Cam in my 18 107 Street Glide for comparison

Dang!! Sucks B@lls!
Glad damage wasn't extensive.
Same crap happened to me, luckily I had just installed engine guard a week before hand so no real damage other than a scratch on the guard. That front tire definitely cannot be trusted on a regular choke.

Any new sound clips to post?? Some ride bys perhaps?? Looking forward to your ride description!
Glad it survived the tumble. Damn that's a sickening feeling. Can't wait for more updates.
