Thank you🙏

Hi Kevin thank you VERY much for the excellent comments! Congrats on the Bike with 500 miles! Kevin this was my first and LAST Harley. Like you, I could not believe the known defects that are simply passed along year after year. Since most people are recreational riders, they know the warranty will expire long before most people discover them. After I discovered them and spent a lot of money, time, sweat, and stress.....I grew to love it. But I would NEVER do it again. I ended up selling everything that I owned and moved to Thailand. I sold the Harley with 4k miles on the clock. Someone got a damn nice bike. Kevin if you take the time to fix the problems and make it comfortable, you will really enjoy your purchase. I am now riding a 2019 Kawasaki 650S Vulcan that I set up like the Harley. I truly love it! Almost 300 lbs lighter and a truly fun and fast machine. In Thailand....it is considered a "Big Bike". Most Thai's look in amazement at it since they ride 125-300 cc motor bikes. Enjoy and ride safe brother🙏🙏

I am sorry I did not receive notification of this and been very busy here in Thailand. Did you get it solved?

That session was the same cam. The first tuner sucked! The second tuner got this much more out of it! If you compared this to a stock cam the difference would be dramatic. Even with the old tune, it was a BEAST compared to the stock grind. This was also with the baffle installed, and a 105 degree dyno room, and VERY humid. Worst possible conditions. I loved the cam. Very little throttle required to leave everyone in the dust. Open the throttle and it became violet! Great cam!

Thank you sir! E-bay specials. (They are all made in China now). Only difference is price. LOVED them!

Thanks for the great comments:) I used an Escort Passport. I just relied on visual warnings. It was not the safest way for sure. But I was fortunate and it kept me out of trouble a number of times. The safest way is as you suggested.....ear piece or blue tooth if possible. Ride safe brother:)

Yes I did. Harley has a "HANDLEBAR FITMENT GUIDE". You find your bike......and the bar that you want to install. It will list the parts that you need to complete the install. I needed a longer lower clutch cable, a new brake hose and fitting, and a few electrical "extensions". I think there were 6 or 7 pieces totaling less than 300 bucks. The first bar change I did took me about 10 - 12 hours and I was REALLY taking my time and being very careful. The second bar change took about 3 hours. Maybe another hour or so to add the needed parts. ABSOLUTELY changed the bike for me. One of those changes that give you a whole different bike! In my case....made the bike completely fit me to a tee. Zero stress anywhere. I can not recommend it enough for comfort. Little changes sometimes make a HUGE difference. This is one of them. Let me know how it works for you brother.....Gene:)

Thanks for the info. Going to add on some mini floors, and change out that speedometer since it build condensation like crazy. Hopefully raising the bars with alleviate some of my tailbone issues. If not might get a different seat too.

@@PainReaper Your welcome my friend:) I loved my "Mini Riot" floor boards. Completely different feel to the bike. Raising the bars definitely affect the rider triangle and will affect your seating pressure. It did mine for the better. Please update us with your results my friend:)

Thank you so much for an EXCELLENT comment! It was my honor.God Bless brother....Gene :)

Hello Mark. The Mustang seat is FAR superior to any seat made to my knowledge. You will pay a premium price, but you get a premium seat. I think I sat just a touch lower than stock. I sold her over a year ago and moved to Thailand. Now riding a Kawasaki Vulcan S. (damn sweet ride)! Hope this helps Mark......Gene :)

I believe it was around 900-950 rpm. I cannot remember exactly.....but it "loped" nicely :)

That's the BEST compliment one could hope for Dave! Thanks so much! I have been without her for a little over a year now since I moved to Thailand. Had to sell her:( I missed riding so much that I bought what the Thai's call a "Big Bike" (Kawasaki 650 Versys). (They ride scooters by the millions) It's a joke compared to the Harley in every way. But.....at least I can ride again :) Thanks again and ride safe brother......Gene :)

@@MrSolidman48, I've been looking at the Fat Bob, I really like the looks, except for the exhausts. Yes, you really had it looking good with those mods. I have a 2003 Anniversary Lowrider. Stay safe over there my friend. Peace ✌ .

Mark my butt could stand far less miles than yours brother! If you ever spring for the Mustang.....you will burn the Saddleman at your next BBQ! Zero comparison. Thanks again for the compliment and ride safe Mark.....Gene :)

Fat Reach bars in the description

Thank you very much God Bless :)

@@MrSolidman48 God bless you as well bro.

Fat Reach Bar.

Your welcome :)

From Harley's Parts website. Here ya go..... www.harley-davidson.com/us/en...

LOL ! I think that is good! If so.........thank you!

@@MrSolidman48 I am in awe!!!!! Same modifications I would do to my fatbob honestly

@@3yolafeddy654 I am honored:) Thank you very much :)

Is it a Lindby bar.

If memory serves.....after my research.......they were all pretty much the same and made in China (surprise)! So I think it came down to a price war between Amazon and E-bay. I think E-bay was the winner. I can tell you they were surprisingly well made and very strong. I tipped it over one time on my bike trailer and they worked perfectly. No damage to bike or bars. Great investment.....Gene :)

Thank you. The build quality alone is so far superior to the stock seat it is a joke. I remember a time when it was very hard to beat factory quality. Not any more. Very cheap quality. As for comfort.....It is the most comfortable set up by far. It is worth every penny that it cost. Good luck on your new purchase. I LOVE the look of the Fat Bob. However, with all the problems I had with my brand new bike....and all the money and time and effort to make it right......I would give the new Sporster a very hard look and test ride. From what I understand the new technology engines are far superior to the old technology. Thanks for the comment....Gene :)

Thank you Derek very much! Amazing how much I hated the bike in the beginning.....then how much I loved it in the end. I do miss it. Have a great day Derek :)

I am jealous! I did not have your kind of luck! lol I had to change a LOT of expensive items....but in the end it came together nicely. I do MISS it a lOT :( I am glad you are happy with yours and ride safe brother!

Ok Now you got me. How is Thailand ? I have been planning but afraid to make a leap like that for retirement

@@ddstanfield9259 I am a native Floridian. The climate here is similar....except Winter here is about 70 degrees. It' get's hotter in Florida....but it stays hot here much longer. The weather is NOT the reason that I moved. I wanted a better quality of life. Without all the DRAMA and corruption. Thailand is like living in the 70's. With very nice and respectful people. You can do basically what you want here.....as long as you do not hurt anyone. Show respect and you will get tons of it. Cost of living is way cheaper than the US. And I will not even mention the beautiful ladies here:) I came for 3 weeks as a test. I went back and sold my home, 3 vehicles, everything and came here with 2 large suitcases. I am so glad that I did:)

@@MrSolidman48 brother, you’ll have to tell me how it alll works . Language barrier, Min income. Long term ability to stay, Supplemental income

@@ddstanfield9259 I researched for 3 years before making the move. I watched hundreds of youtube vids from expats living here. Many speak a little english.....and those that do not just use google translate on your phone.....easy. Very nice and respectful people. Show respect and they will go many extra miles to help you. You have to have a guaranteed income of at least 1,800 per month. You have to renew your retirement vise annually. very simple and easy. I came here for 3 weeks and went back and sold EVERYTHING! We are all different with different requirements. If you are single, and from the US, you are in high demand:)

@@MrSolidman48 in high demand, That isn’t or wasn’t a consideration in this but It all helps I have watched videos too, The visit I suppose and figuring out the right place there to make the visit is going to have to be a step I take

Hey Jorge:) There is no sudden increase of noticeable buffeting. Obviously, you will not get a full fairing coverage.....but it is about 1000 percent better than no fairing at all. I found the key for me is the right full face Helmet. I went through about 7 different 3/4 helmets....and 4 full face. I finally found the right one and the combination of the fairing and helmet made it very comfortable at all speeds.....Gene :)

Rear fender is stock. Lights are LED drop in's. Under fender LED's are aftermarket.

Thank you so much. Billiard red was the only color for me on this bike.

Hello Jeff and all that have made comments. I move to Thailand permanently and I am just now able to access my account. Sounds like a sweet ride Jeff :) My thoughts: You will wonder why in the world wasn't the cam change the FIRST mod you made! Seriously. it will become a completely different beast. You will LOVE it! Once installed...please let us know your thoughts....Gene :)

Oh and THANK YOU for the excellent comment Jeff...:)

Sorry for the delay Fast guy....I am 5'11. The Fat Reach bars are extremely comfortable and greatly add to the handling of the bike....Gene :)

I am sorry I have no idea :( Good luck!

Harley online parts.

@MrSolidman48 Ya man.I had one on order for 8 months.I know people in the US that can't get it nowadays.

@@MrMurphc13 I hate to say this...but nothing surprises me anymore. A lot of things DISGUST me....but sadly little surprises. The world has changed into something that we read and heard rumors about when we were kids. Knowing what I know I know now.....I would never buy another Harley Davidson. I went from hating my bike.....to LOVING my bike. It cost me a TON of money and effort to finally make it comfortable, dependable and trouble free. And this on a BRAND NEW motorcycle:( I miss it a LOT. Harley Davidson has no issues selling motorcycles with known defects and inherent problems. I hear the new designs are good.....but unproven in the long term. I have yet to purchase another bike here in Thailand....but when I do....it will not be a Harley......Gene :)

Per my Cam card - .470 intake and exhaust, 212 and 234 duration respectively, 100 and 105 centerline. It is a 114. I has been dyno tuned twice. The second time by Cycle Rama in Tampa. The first tune had a lot of throttle acceleration dialed in. The second tune has none dialed in and is much better. The throttle response strictly comes from the tune of the motor. I have not tested the mpg yet with the second tune, but it definitely uses less fuel and makes more power. Riding styles are critical when comparing mpg. I ride sporty and not "grandpa". I am very happy with the power and performance of this cam.

@@MrSolidman48 well its got the same lift as the Zipper 468, but By the seat of the pants, Would you gauge the 22XE as more of a torque or hp cam result?

@@ut1004bp It is definitely both. It is at the top of the torque cam rating as far as i am concerned. I forgot to mention the dyno operator tried a 6th gear pull and the clutch would not hold around 4k. This is a new bike with much stronger springs. With a better clutch and cooler conditions the number would be MUCH improved. Remember as well the exhaust has a converter AND a baffle. I personally love the cam.

Hello Ady and thank you so much for the excellent reply :) I truly hope you have a wonderful time when you get your new motorcycle! Ride safe and enjoy brother and God Bless.....Gene :)

I am sorry I just saw this post. I have been very busy and I am sorry. Did you get it fixed? Sounds like transmission / wear issues to me.

Thank you very much!

Hey Gonzalo, you motivated me to update my recent Dyno session. Please click "more" under the title of my video for my update. The bike is not overall LOUDER. It is however much more THROATY and powerful sounding. It sounds a thousand times better than a stock cam any day without melting everyone's ears out of their heads. This cam with the proper tune is a torque monster while still providing big power up top. The MPG is better than stock while providing a big increase in power. I cannot see how anyone could be unhappy with this cam on a street bike.

@@MrSolidman48 Thanks for the update! getting ready to order mine from Fuel Moto. So I hope my guy in town can do s good a tune as CR after my install. At the bottom of your update you say "The cam is actually shaking the floor and is MUCH louder!" contradicts you saying "The bike is not overall LOUDER" also "shaking the floor" means what? more vibrations in the handle bars and throughout the the bike? mine already vibrates like hell compared to my RGS. Appreciate the update!

@@gonzalopalacio2653 Let me clarify: It is much louder IN PERSON than what the phone picks up. The video does not provide the realism of standing next to the bike. The floor in that Garage is wood....so you could feel the motor pulses in the floor. At idle with a performance cam a motor idles "rougher". Some call it "camming". That does NOT translate to vibration unless you have a solid engine mount. A rubber engine mount eliminates the vibration on "baggers" . Softails utilize Internal engine balancers and solid mounts. Off of idle and cruising I do not notice any "buzzing" or "vibration" coming through the bars. Of course....if you LUG a V-twin (too low of rpm for a gear) any V-twin will be vibrate and be very unhappy. Your welcome for the update :)
