I recently made some changes to my 06 Road King: PC-V, Jackpot 4" slash downs with the quiet baffle for the neighbors and the long runs, then on my indy's recommendations I did the SE hydraulic tensioner kit w/ upgraded oil pump, and Feuling 525 cams with new lifters and pushrods. So far I like the changes, but was expecting more. I can feel a bump up in torque throughout and the dyno said I'm at 82 torque and 81 hp, but I thought it would be more noticeable while riding. I did take it to Cripple Creek for the Vets Rally last weekend, and almost had to downshift on a couple hills. We'll see how it does next month through Glacier and over to Vancouver & back.

Anyone done similar upgrades and care to share your impressions?

 

Anyone?

 

How do you like the 525's after logging some miles? Was it worth the $$$$?

 

I'm glad I did the 575's. I was afraid of exactly what you're describing. I've got a noticeable change in mine.

 

I can't say I'm overjoyed with the 525's, just not a very noticeable difference. The indy that did the work says the tuner they use has better luck with the direct link tuning more than my PC-V, and that it would be another 500-600 for that including the re-tune. I'm not convinced that the PC-V is the problem, but something isn't right for the money I spent. Only other option here is the dealer, since I don't have the area, tools, or expertise to do it myself.
