I have a 2012 fatboy lo and im wanting to do a set of woods 555s or 777s in it. How much can I expect to pay for installation if I supply all of the parts?

 

I can't answer your question but I can tell you that the Wood cams are manufactured by Andrews, you can get the Andrews equivalent for a lot less money.

 

$500-$600.
Save the $$$ and do it yourself. It isn't that difficult.

 

I agree. However, if you aren't comfortable cracking open the motor of your $20k bike and don't have enough confidence in your own mechanical skills to do so, go ahead and pay someone to do it. Especially if you have the extra coin to do so.

 

True that.

 

That's true, about $600. Its pretty costly compared to a cam upgrade in a car.

 

i paid my local dealership $1500 for woods 777 cams, bearings, gaskets, quickie push rods and new tubes, sert, heavier clutch spring, and a dyno tune. 15% off parts, 15% off labor. i know i could have done it myself. but being that my bike is stored at my dads and i can't hardly get away from the family enough to tinker on it, i didn't want to be part way through it and have to stop to go home, to pick it up again in a few days or so or maybe longer. i was worried i might forget something or to do something. but the videos i watched from fuel moto made it look easy.

 

If you buy all the parts you are looking at 4-6 hours labor. 80-120 hour.

 

I don't know about those particular cam designs but even though Andrews creates Wood's cams, they have a different spec. When I was looking, the ramp of the Wood's cams were steeper. More aggressive, meaner sound, harder on the valve train I would think... did I say they sounded meaner?

That's because it is easy. Nothing more than your time and tools. I can tell you though, once I bought all the cam bearing tools and other things I needed, I might as well have paid someone to do it. And I'm a mechanic with $40k in tools. Didn't have any harley specific stuff though.
