Cam question
Hey guys, hoping for some input. I have a 2017 FLHP 107ci. Ive been looking at maybe caming it up. Ive been hearing good things about the cr483 and cr485. Does anyone have any experience riding with either? Recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Im a fan of APE, they worked with Cyclerama in developing these cams. Both are putting out real impressive results. Both cams are newer and not really well-known in the US yet, so Im not sure how many people will respond on here.
The CR485 is more of a hot rod grind, 36 degree close. Its really intended for larger cubes and more compression IMO.
The CR483 is more of a mid-range cam, 21 degree close. Really broad powerband.
Im putting the CR483 in my 11:1 122ci Street Bob this winter. Im thinking it will deliver exactly what I want with that bike. I can share my dyno results and impressions with you in a few months if youd like.
For you, gonna depend on how you ride and what youre looking for. The 485 is just way too much cam for a 107 bagger in my opinion, though. Of the 2, the 483 would be more suitable. But really gonna come down to your riding style and such to see if thats a good choice or not. If you want a torque grind and like Cyclerama, the CR480 is worth looking into

I am going to upgrade my cam soon. I also have a 107, I am going with the Woods 222X-E. The dyno sheets show it pulls hard low and stays in the party until red line. Fuel moto has a lot of base maps for the 222. The M8's like certain exhausr , what are you going to run?

Cam alone is like a steak with no sides...fine but not displaying its best characteristics. Best results are achieved with a cam, correct exhaust, enough intake and especially a good re-tuning of the ECM. It's the complete and satisfying meal if you hunger for more performance.

Good metaphor, but now I'm really hungry... !!!!!
