    I'm Harley fugged now , can't own anything else,been on 'em since 90 or there abouts .
    I did like HRC stuff all my life as well and went to buy an RC51 (SP2) the other day ,and it was mint for 10.5K BUT I didn't buy it.
    I lay in bed that night awake wondering why?
    Even sold one of my Evo's to buy an M8 but didn't buy a mint RC51 , Still don't know why.
    Off topic a bit, Dan I didn't put the torque came in me Bob,they first quoted me just over a grand fitted then somehow it blew out to $1278 ,  I said i can load the tune and go from there , they then said $1220 ,  I then said go and fug yourself ,fuck I hate Harley dealerships they're just theiving kunts.
    I'll wait till warranty is over and do a cam then.
    I saw a 18 Street Bob like mine but it had a set of Bassani Road Rage 2 into 1 it sounded good and looked like it got going a bit . 
    I rode home too man another 1500 K stint straight at 120K's on the little Street Bob , fug I was cold. I'm totally smashed now I'll sleep for a week I reckon.
    Cheers.

    Sounds familiar Hilly. One bike I really miss is my 900R.......although I doubt I’m a good enough contortionist to ride it anymore either! Reason I asked was cos most folks I ever hear wanting big top ends from their Harley’s have never owned bikes that do that as their bread and butter. Your situation explains to me exactly why you like that big top end. I’ve had a gap in my riding which prob explains my docile take it easy riding style......I’d die if I went much further let alone got another sports bike.

    This was interesting, pity they didn't test the Harley cams.

    Very good numbers for an EPA cam, wonder why it shuts down at 4750 RPM .

    fark thats a tsunami of torque right from the basement.

    Somethings strangling it though, or the operator let off way early.

    Yeah Brash it’s odd.
    Hopefully Adrian can tell us where he got the sheet from so we can investigate. 
    Mind you when test riding the M8’s I found them a bit breathless but that feeling doesn’t show up on the other “uni” sheets Adrian posted.

    Yeah I like the look of the red shift cam too but concerned about warranty issues.  Cant seem to find them in Aus only in USA.

    I might get one after warranty is done.
