    So what's in the box on an ape stage 2 kit?

    Cam (485 in this case)
    Pushrods
    Lifters
    Billet lifter cuff
    Cam bearing
    Injectors (I went 6.2s)
    55mm intake (SE) 

    Should be good to add 35ish hp

    My FXLRS is at the shop now for cam, intake and tune, it's interesting you went with the 6.2g/s injectors John, I'm really looking forward to picking the bike up this arvo

    Was on advice of the bloke who's going to tune it, but also seems pretty common. Stockies get maxxed out easily (they're the same size injectors as on a stock 103cu TC, and cammed M8s are generally putting out 120hp easily) and even 5.5s can get a good workout, so going up next size just keeps duty cycle down.

    gee i hope the 5.5's work for me but according to Fuel Moto they should be good for up to 140+hp- https://university.fuelmotousa.com/article/choosing-the-right-fuel-injector-for-your-harley-davidson-milwaukee-8-or-twin-cam/ but I would always go with what your tuner recommends definitely

    Yeah they'll be fine for sure, people have cams and have their stock injectors maxxed out and it's not much of an issue.  Its not like you're riding the bike with it pinned wide open all the time haha.

    I was tempted to go TB but seems pretty expensive to upgrade. Would likely be better for that next step if i took it there (I.e, cubes, compression, TB).

    Installed saddlebag run/brake/sequential amber turn lights on my 2023 Ultra limited that I got from Ebay that were plug and play no splicing required.

    I'll take it all day. Not like we're manufacturing here in Aus. Some part of the supply chain obviously needs a looking at.

    Thats the place. Local HD dealership has em for $950 for the same model.

    The CF helmets are awesome, fair bit lighter then normal ones, good comfort and wind protection. Not for everyone on HDs though, I get that.

    That's going to be my next helmet!  Its perfect where I'm commuting daily in traffic and on a super cool looking bike that the helmet will just add to the awesomeness.  Lightweight will sure be a plus!  Are these sold locally in AU so I can go and size one up?

    Hello all
    New here but started my journey in small updates to the Breakout. Tided up the front and rear indicator stalks to something more hidden and LED
