Dude, if you're a half way descent wrench turner, there's a couple great YouTube videos to walk you through this. It's not a bad job. Don't pay those labor rates for something you could enjoy yourself. But, only you know your capabilities and comfort level.

Galaxy, if you don't mind me asking, what's C&S charging for a custom map? I'm in St Charles and was thinking of taking my bike to Docs until I found your post. I've already got a Fuel Moto tune loaded, just needs a little tweaking...

$425 flat rate, regardless of how long it takes him; or at least that's what he quoted me. A little more than some of the local dealers, but probably a little cheaper than Docs. Docs has a great reputation, but when I didn't get talk to the guy doing my tune at Docs, I was put off by the conversation. Talking to Jason at C&S was nothing short of awesome...SOLD.

Just had the dealer (Winter labor rates, $225 US ) drop a 204 in my 2014 BO. I also pulled the baffles from my SE slipons and replaced them with 2 5/8" Lollipops. I'll get the SEST redone come spring and then see how she runs .

Like others here, I did a LOT of reading before deciding initially on the Andrews 57H. My Dealer supplies both the Andrews 57H and, of course, the SE204. Costs were 10 bux apart. I switched to the SE204 owing to its being virtually the same cam as a 57H and, as its a HD part, it gives the dealer a bit more leverage if a warranty issue should arise. They also went with adjustable SE "steel" rods and retained the OEM tappets.

Anyhow, as mentioned above, I've done a lot of reading. IMHO contributions to this particular thread, including those of the OP are accurate IMHO, and of great assistance in the process of selecting a cam. Cam shoppers who, like me, aren't particularly tech savvy would also find the charts in HD's SE catalog and tables published by Andrews, for their line of cams, very enlightening.
