So I've had an S&S 475 cam chest upgrade fitted in my Low rider ST, but is it TOO MUCH?
Lets find out!

Thanks Frank, I’m not sure if I’m going to keep the 475, it’s super powerful, but makes the bike harder to ride. I’m looking at possibly using a Zippers Redshift 468, almost as much power, a bit quieter and smoother at low revs. Watford also have a fat bob with a screaming eagle power cam in that I ride last week, still quite punchy and very smooth, decisions, decisions 🤔

Hi Kevin, thanks for watching and your kind comments, the 475 is a big change, so I understand why some people don’t upgrade, I haven’t made my mind up yet, I may still go for something a little less extreme, I’m hoping to try a bike fitted with a Zippers redshift 468, as I’m told they’re slightly down on HP, but strong on torque and a little smoother to ride at cruising speeds, hopefully I’ll get a body out on that asap!

I put the 475 in mine, The exhaust noise was way to loud so I put on a supertrap (early morning starts, close neighbours), That supertrap exhaust made the engine feel very linier and in its power delivery. I consider the suspension and the brakes to be absolute junk, only made more apparent by the bump in horsepower.

Impressive dyno chart mate ... I have a Zippers 468 in my 114 ... Same issues as you , but it takes a while to get use to it around town.... I upgraded my tyres to Avon Cobra chromes, which handle a lot better and turn a lot better than the HD rubber, but ride comfort is not as good . Probably will try Metzellers next time. Check my sound video if you want to compare to yours Its a Beautiful bike you have, but still cant understand why HD made the bags different sizes on those models , looks lop sided when you are following one , now side on , there is a big gap between your single pipe and bag ...

Hi Sparky, people are telling me that the Zippers is better at low revs? I'll give it a while with the S&S 475, but if I'm struggling with it I might try the Zippers 468, I think it makes better torque low and mid range, which is where you need it really. Thanks for the tyre tips, definitely change mine soon. Yeah, shame Harley didn't fit the bike with a two into one as stock, then the bags might match.

The 475 is nasty in low revs i had the same issue and didnt enjoy it for everyday relaxed riding either Some people will argue you shouldnt have cammed it then but it is very possible to have a cam and not have to deal with that Its a known thing, not nice around roundabouts and if your cruising you now need to be a gear lower than before in higher revs using more fuel and being noisier to have it riding smooth… pain in the ass Its great at wide open throttle but not cruise friendly Youve already got all the other parts if you get over it just swap it to a cyclerama 483 or star 30/30 cam and it will ride much better They are close to what you have but will be smoother in the bottom Or if you really favour bottom end torque early the cyclerama 480 might suit you better but will sacrifice a tad off the top end compared to the 483 Plenty of vids around this on youtube Exhaust can affect this majorly and create torque dips aswell but the exhaust you have is a great option so shouldnt be an issue Welcome to the world of spending thousands on harleys, be careful its addictive 😂

Nice, I'd recommend a different header for a bit more down low streetable torque and throttle response. Short length primary headers kill power below 3500 rpm, they're ok if you spend the majority of time in the upper registers of the rpm range but for normal street riding, long tube primary headers fit the bill. P.S. It's difficult to draw direct conclusions/comparisons with dyno numbers from H.D. and the aftermarket, Harley tends to show dyno numbers with restrictive cat pipes, lean fuel mixtures and retarded ignition timing (tuning)that are environmentally friendly whereas the aftermarket tends to show numbers with performance tuning and all the performance goodies added to gain as much power as they can to promote their products, not a real apple to apple comparison. Sweet bike btw.

@@sweetrides8418 The Redshift 468 is a "torque cam" much in the same way as the SE-447 and S&S 465 cams are, the stock 117 cam isn't that far off of the SE-447 cam specs wise, which is why Harley doesn't recommend it for the 117, there wouldn't be much of a performance gain. Before you decide to switch cams, I'd really recommend you switch to long tube primary headers and have the bike re-tuned/dyno'd, the S&S 475 cam is a good street "power" cam but like most other performance parts, they need to matched together to work in concert with each other, putting a cam designed to make power in a specific rpm range and another part optimized to make power in another rpm range is where power is lost. Good luck & ride safe.

Change the shocks. Change the pads for more bite. Change the tires to the Metzeler tires used in bagger racing. Adjust ride height on rear. On your corners at low speed with a cam in a Harley it is common to half clutch to take the chop out when riding. Just get used to it and you will not go back to a smooth cam. If you do want a smother cam with the same power go with the star 30/30.
