Finally got my cam installed
So bike is a 2018 street glide special, quite a few visual mods, 21" CVO front wheel, matching rear, 16" Ironhold apes, Rinehart DBX45's, LED headlight and LED signals and rear tail light. CVO seat, low profile crash bar and joker machine boards and pegs, tallboys cycles floor board extensions, and some other things i cant think of. I never got to ride the bike until i dropped it off to have the cam done, along with the updated 2020 harley oil pump, feuling lifters, S&S lifter cuffs and the S&S 465 cam. When the shop opened it up it already had adjustable pushrods, SE lifters and the SE-462 cam. Those parts are removed and in the garage and i may just sell them.
Anyway, bike sounds awesome and i really like the sound of the Rinehart DBX45 slip ons, good lope from the cam and just had a new tune from Vance and hines sent. I had a map from the FP3 on for the last couple days but changed it to one recommended by V&H. Its only 6 degrees C here so the ride was a bit cold but the bike runs awesome with tons of torque. I know a dyno tune will be better but this is totally fine for now. Hoping for some better weather. Not sure what the next mods will be, maybe need to upgrade the fairing speakers, not great when travelling over KM/H.

I will get some pics and video up soon, just away for a day or so.
I know the FP3 is limited but it's what came on the bike when I bought it. I did just start it up afyer V&H uploaded a new "custom" tune and it seems to idle a bit rougher than the tune just picked from the FP3 itself. I'll try a ride on it when the weather is better and go from there.
I called the local dyno tuner, who is well known and an hour away and he said they can tune it but it's about $1200.00CDN. More than I thought it would be.

I would think that includes the tuning device and not just a licence or a key? You don't have your location listed.

That price is not including the tuner itself, just a license for them to use the power vision to tune it. I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Yeah I know. It's a bit steep. Now looking at other tuners or to get V&H to fine tune woth the FP3. I just started the bike in the garage and it's stumbling while idling and giving a loud poo as well. It didn't do this with the other tune right off the tuner itself.
