S&S 585 questions

Where is the best place to buy the S&S 585? (link?)

I have looked and notice that there appear to be a number of variations on 585, like 585V, 585 easy start, 585C (and on and on)...

Which do we want for the 117 EVO we have? (2009 Mastiff)

I got mine on Amazon from PowersportSuperstore.com - Your choice for Street and Dirt Bike & ATV Parts, Accessories, and Apparel for $165 delivered, the full gasket set I used on Postman's bike I got from Cycle City in Kingsport, Tn. for $15, the cam cover gasket is available at the Harley dealer for less than $5.

You want the 33-5109 part # for our bikes, that is the 585V.
What he said and you might want to check with some of the supporting vendors on the site.

Just the cam, I will buy the gasket locally. Shipping was free.
I used to think Amazon sucked, but you can find competing prices and pick the best. (Now I am starting to think eBay sucks)

I already got it in. Spent Tuesday afternoon doing it.
The How To's on 585 installation were great.
The How to on setting the lifters was ok, not great but helped.

The bike has more torque for sure. It was dark when I got done, and I don't see that great at night. I took it easy 1 and 2nd. As I hit third, I figured it was safe to twist the throttle hard... nope, it got squirrely as soon as I gave it power (fishtailed). Anyway, I am happy and highly recommend this.

p.s. I have V&H 2 into 1's. I did NOT have to take the exhaust off, just loosened the front heat shield.

If you do this, make sure you get the right cover gasket. I went to Iron Lightning and they apparently have no way to look up parts. (I guess they used a web app hosted by BDM). They ended up giving me the wrong gasket. I later went to the Harley dealer and got the right one. Probably my last trip to Iron Lightning.
