Woods Cam Upgrade
So, I decided now that I have 50K miles on my bike it is broke in enough to upgrade the cam. I think I know the how and just wanted to post here and see if anyone has any tips or additional parts I could use or should use.
First, I have a 2019 Street Glide Special 114". Currently I have a Screaming Eagle K&N air cleaner, Tab Performance head pipe, Magnaflow Mufflers and a PowerVision tuner.
My upgrade:
Woods WM8-22EX cam with the install kit that includes a new inner bearing
Woods lifters
Fuel Moto adjustable pushrods
Harley M8 updated oil pump
Fueling cam chain (just because I am already in there)
S&S Chain tensioner
Reinhart DBX45's
I am going back with all new gaskets and o-rings as well. I will get a new tune from Fuel Moto before I am done and will load up before I crank it up the first time.
I have all the tools, even an oil can to pump up the lifters, cam bearing puller, cam gear lock, etc.
I have watched about 4 different videos on how to do this and will have information available while doing the install.
Am I missing anything?

Seeing as you have the FM adjustables I am guessing you went over cam choice, type of riding you do and if the components you already have with them. Have you ever had a bike where you changed cams? The reason I'm asking is that I changed cams in my twin cam last year and it really changed the way my bike wants to be ridden, at a higher rpm! Just something to consider. Fuel Moto will take care of you!!

Smart move not messing with lifter cuffs. You will love the 22XE idle lope.
I did my first cam (22XE) a couple months ago. Wished I had used a checklist on a few things - timing chain alignment, TDC on each cylinder, O rings. I find myself wondering if I did it all correctly now that it is all buttoned up.

I just added an A/C and Mufflers to mine at first and it was ok. I added the PowerVision and WOW, it was totally different. I can't wait to see what this cam is going to do. The cam chain and tensioner get here Friday and I am going to start as soon as I get off work. It's going to be sweaty in the garage but I am going to enjoy every second of it. Fuel Moto has already sent the new map so I will be ready to test it out as soon as it's done.
