Hi DiegoKing,

I too am planning the same route as you to put in a 203 equivalent cam and geardrive kit on my 05 RKC.

Can you share with me which S&S cam you have chosen(i do not want to remap to save $$) and which gear drive kit you picked?

Appreciate your sharing...
Hi hoelwill,

Check this out: www.sscycle.com/modules/instruction/uploads/51-1047.pdf

S&S .510G gear drive cams on my bike.

It's top notch

Peter

go with something better than a equivlent to the 203 cams, there are many choices out there, the S&S 510 are good as well as head quarters 0034 cams

They are installing the S&S .510 gear drive cams. I let you know how it is when I get it back (hopefully tomarrow)

Does the engine, etc. need to be flushed out? i.e. if there was crap in the oil, who knows where it all went.

Well I've got about 300 miles or so on the new cams and I am VERY happy. Nice power band.
