Default RedShift 468 Cam (117" Big Bore)

I recently installed the Zippers RedShift 468 Cam with Prowler Lifters From Fuel Moto.
Gotta' say I love the cam.
I was looking at getting the Fuel Moto 117" Big Bore Kit, But since I'm running the 468 cam going to wait for Fuel Moto to put out the 117" Big Bore Low Compression Kit
Fuel Moto 117 Low Compression Big Bore Kit
hopefully ready this fall.

The current 117 M8 BB Kit uses 11.2:1 and the last Low Compression 117 used 10.75:1. With the low compression I can use my 468 cam, and the numbers on their low compression cam shoot out look really good.


All I'll need are the cylinder, pistons and rings, gaskets, New head bolts and flange nuts and should be up and running.
With these numbers and already having the cam I have no problem with this set up.

I just bumped up the thread “117” M8 power” so you could find it easily. It is a build that Hillside did that is exactly what you are wanting to do. Just thought you might be interested.

We have an assortment of M8 big bore components in the works that we will be releasing toward the end of summer. Stay tuned...

Here's a set of cylinders on Ebay for less than a $150 shipped. https://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-DAVIDSON-GENUINE-107-MILWAUKEE-8-CYLINDER-JUGS-16800092-16800097-TOURING/142518678162?hash=item212ec67292%3Ag%3AqfoAAOSw9bF ZyYWH&_pgn=3&_sacat=0&_nkw=milwaukee+8+cylinders&_ from=R40&rt=nc

Call Patrick Racing in Prescott, AZ., (928) 277-8281, they have a pretty good price on boring your cylinders with the pistons for a 10.75:1 117". Head bolts and flange nuts - Harley. Gaskets - Cometics. You should be able to do this for less than $1000 including the price of the cylinders. When you buy the cylinders have them shipped straight to Patrick Racing and you'll save shipping one way.

Default Zippers sleeper 117 kit.

I'm wondering if any body has done the zippers sleeper 117 kit on the m8 and what kind of results you got. I've got a 2018 flhtk and looking for more low end grunt. Mostly 2 up riding, sometime pulling a trailer. Thanks,

Folks are getting great results with these Big Bore kits and the cam of choice,a very small outlay for a big gain in grunt and power.The RS 468 cam is one of those cams getting great results.
Peace.

Hey guys,
I did not do a zippers kit but i did do the FM 117 low compression with an RS 468 cam, stock heads and stock throttle body, 5.5 injectors and stock header with cats removed. I got 141.50 TQ and 119 HP. I am happy with the outcome considering i was able to keep the look of the stock exhaust set up of the 2018 fat Bob. i am one of the few that likes this look. I love the way it runs now.
