    Canberra HD and others are quoting $1699. May be worth a call to query the T&C’s ... will give you an additional starting point.

    No, that's parts and labour.

    My steady as she goes recommendation would be to not do it. You already have nearly 1900cc which is a fair bit. Unless you already have the tuner, I don’t think that and tune up will be included. So that could potentially take you over $2k. 
    Save your money. Just enjoy the bike. No one has ever looked at any of my bikes and been disappointed that they weren’t stage 2. Good luck.

    If it’s for parts, labour and dyno tune then that’s about what they charge

    I've got a 110 motor going into one of the bikes Im building, and my quick search around yielded very few options of cams for that motor that would be any good without an increase in compression.

    That’s a really good point. Static compression on the factory 110 engine is around 9.2:1 and therefore suited to the se255 cam mated to it. What replacement cams were you considering? Most replacement cams will want higher compression to work their best. You’ll give up some low down torque by changing to just about any other cam unless you increase compression which is more dollars with either piston change or head shave.

    Or very cheap with a thinner head gasket to bump the comp. Again depends if that marginal increase will be enough for what your looking at to get the cam interested

    Head gasket isn’t going to add much really. He might go from 9.2 to 9.3 and still have the same limited cam choice.

    Any time I’ve enquires about getting ‘bolt in’ cams I get hit with ‘oh you need to replace the pushrods too oh you have that tuner? No you’ll need to buy the xyz tuner blah blah’.
    Bill for ‘bolt in’ always ends up looking like $2k
