Ok fellas... here is the deal.
I have a 04 Ridgeback with a original 117 S&S in it. I would like to upgrade the cam. I have a set of V&H Big Radius pipes w/o baffles and a Stainless Creations Velocity stack ( looks like a snakes tongue ) I do not want to get into changing the springs or much else, just really want to get a little more performance and the extremely low lobe. Any suggestions !! Also Is there any otherway to breathe the rear head other then the line that runs alone the motor to the ground. I get a tid bit of oil everynow and then and would like to clean up the side of the motor and maybe install a puke can of some sort.. again any suggestions !! Thanks for your help

Seein that you're bike is a 04 with the 117 in engine it may very well not be a EPA engine. The 117 in 04 was a upgarde as I understand it. You might already have the .600 cam and better valve springs. What you might want to do is get the engine serial number and call S&S. They can give you the specs on the motor if it is one they built. As far as checking the springs you could pull the front rocker box cover to find out if you have the "true" S&S triple .640 rated springs.
