117 with Stage II Power cam
#11
I inquired when my cvo 117 was new and found out the torque cam is not available for the 117 so I asked about the power cam. Was told that my bike may perform a little worse on bottom with the power cam over stock but would have a better top end. I ended up with a S+S 475 and was very happy:

Yeah cams definitely fit people differently, I loved the 475 in my cvo 117 and kept the same cam when Fuel Moto built my 128 and loved it even more, I personally wouldn’t not have switched that cam for any other.

2020 117CI with Torque Cam
I actually just finished the stage 2 SE 462 Power cam on my 2020 CVO 117 and me personally think it was worth every penny. Everyone said it will cause a loss of low end torque which, at least in my case, proved totally untrue. I actually picked up torque in the lower rpm range and gained a bunch of HP in the upper rpm range. My thoughts are that most of that information comes from the 462 installed in a 107 or 114. Evidently the 117 must be different. The HD parts catalog has a dyno graph showing the results of the 462 cam installed in a 117 and there is torque and HP gains across the board compared to a stock 117. In my case, that proved absolutely true. I have all screamin eagle parts as well. There are many aftermarket cams out there that will give you stronger results, so it's really all what you are after. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Stage 2 is the 447 cam
I had a Torque Cam installed as part of the Stage II kit on my 2020 CVO. I received a dyno report when they finished. The HP went from 94 to 101 and the torque went to 120. As far as riding, my main concern was when I ride with my wife (our total weight is 425 plus). I did not want to have to drop down 2 gears just to safely pass someone. With the new cam and the stage II kit it performs very well. At 50MPH to 60MPH in 5th gear I can just crack the throttle and easily pass someone. I do not know if the stock 117 performs the same, I had all the work done before I picked up the bike from the dealer when it was brand new.
