For my style of riding is a must buy. With the stock engine I felt a lack of power at high rpm so I choose the power cam. The bike gains revs faster and for me is much more fun than before.
Now is another bike!

I've choose the wide tripper for the syle. My wife hate so much the stock passenger seat and I didn't like seats too thick like the sundowner. For me this one is perfect for the looking and comfort. My wife enjoy it a lot. My riding position is a little backward than the stock seat. I'm 5.9, I think I needed the 4" riser to gain more comfort.

Sounds good. If I ever do swap cams, I would pick the power cam. When I'm in the mood to ride like my hair is on fire, I tend to run the engine up in the higher RPMs.

I’m not necessarily short, but I do prefer sitting closer to the tank and bars so I got a reduced reach seat (keeps me in place when I accelerate), Kuryakyn hex mini boards, turn signal extension caps (HD website says they won’t fit but the dealer had no issues getting them on) and a bung king 2 step crash bar (specifically for 2018+ softails with forwards and/or boards).
Anyone know of a product that will bring the hand levers a little closer to the grips? I can reach just fine for the most part, but I’m only able to comfortable get 3 fingers around the brake lever.

I and others have had issued with the Oberon levers. The clutch lever did not engage the switch enough so the bike would not start in gear with the lever pulled in. I glued a tab on so there was more engagement to fix this. BUT, there is also a thread posted here where several of us experienced brake lever leak down after parked for a day. The brake lever would need to be pumped to get back to normal. You can search "Oberon" for more info.
I changed to these instead, also adjustable for length and they work fine:

Thanks. I don't need levers that cause issues.

I love Oberon levers, this is the third set I have but they're not doing well on (some) new Softails.
