Not done the cam change yet but watched this video and gives me all the confidence I need, and what parts to use and why, hope it helps:

Exactly what I have in my 2011 RGU and I am very satisfied.

204 is a good cam, but the 255 is better in a bagger being rode mainly around 3000 RPM in 5th and 6th gear. Good hghway cam.

Thanks...... I've never used the adjustable push rods and wondered if they would be an additional maintenance concern.

I'm calling FM in the AM. Ordering the cam install kit & the adjustable pushrods $190 + shipping. My 255s have been collecting dust & are hopefully going in next weekend if my new V&H Dresser Duals & FM parts arrive in time. Can't wait any longer!
