Update on my Stage 2..
I was able to get out and grab a proper handful or five...
Including a short freeway run.
The cams are not a totally amazing improvement like I've read on some threads here..but they are a definite improvement. Butt dyno can feel a lot more TQ in the lower RPM range.
6th gear is a bit more managable..I can float down to 65mph and still have usable power without downshifting or lugging at highway speeds.
The open K&N is annoyingly loud.
I have the clucking cam reversion happening but isn't all that noticeable unless your head us right down near the air intake.
Deceleration is smooth with no popping but the Rush 2 into 1 has a strange note on decel. Almost sounds metallic like something is loose although everything seems to be solid.
I'll be chasing that down this weekend.
All in all it was a worthwhile project, but if your considering a bolt in cam upgrade, all of the members who have been there and done it and say to just go to to a displacement bump and heads are right on th $$$.

finished the leather wrap for the crash bars. I started with 3-4oz veg tan leather, made the strips, dyed, and finished with spanish ring knots at the transitions...
Doing a colour change from candy root beer to black and replacing the wire wheels with these 2017 Road King new take-offs. I like the wheels but don't love them but at half the price of new I couldn't resist. They may grow on me.
