I'm still going to put a cam and dyno the 117 also once it arrives, I'm thinking of a S&S 475 cam this time though
Here's a FXLRS dyno run with the S&S 475 cam- https://rolliesspeedshop.com/dyno_charts/2022-117ci-softail-low-rider-s-ss-475-cam/ I'm not sure what cam to go with now at this stage I'm looking at the following- S&S 475, reaper 472, redshift 472, CR480 & CR483, I do realize that all dyno vary but the CR 483 seems to give out a lot more torque than the S&S cam
Personally id be giving the SS475 a miss when there are much stronger and more accessible options out there.
Have any of you M8 owners found the need for the adjustable rocker? Seems like such a good idea in theory to even things out.
I never knew they existed I wasn't planning on taking the rocker cover's off, but they look like a good idea after I had a google- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG25VV4MByU https://rolliesspeedshop.com/shop/engine/rocker-covers-rockers/ss-forged-roller-rocker-arm-kit-fits-milwaukee-eight-2017up/ I might do them later on after pricing them
I've ridden a few 107's and 114's, a couple were quiet up top and the others had varying degrees of clatter, they would all be within tolerance no doubt but if these sort it out I'd be doing it, they had them in the catalogue nearly as soon as the M8's came out which means the buggas knew it wasn't a perfect set up.
Funnily enough, when I first saw the m8 had 4 valves and I saw the rocker arm, my FIRST thought was "How the the hell do the lifters do their job if 1 rigid arm controls two separate valves?" I reckon it wouldn't be an issue till down the track, higher km motors where theyve had a chance to bed in differently.
I like that supertrap, the Rush Wrath goes alright as well.
