Zippers Red Shift 468 Cam Zip Kit — Milwaukee-Eight® (G1)

Fitment & What You Need

  • Fits: 1st-generation Milwaukee-Eight engines — factory 107″ / 114″ / 117″ (typical 2017–2023 Touring, Softail, Trike and related M8 models)
  • Does not fit Gen 2 / Helix M8 (2024-up Touring with the new oval-port engine). Stock 2024+ Street Glide/Road Glide 117s (non-VVT) need Zippers’ Gen 2 Red Shift RS528 instead. RS528 is not for VVT engines (2023+ CVO Street Glide/Road Glide 121) — Ask a Rider if you’re unsure which engine you have
  • This listing is the complete Zip Kit (cam + install components) — there is no cam-only option here. Choose pushrod cover color: Chrome or Black
  • Tune required: any cam change needs a proper EFI calibration (tuner not included — we carry Dynojet Power Vision)
  • Install: bolt-in chain-drive cam; Quickee pushrods allow install without rocker-box disassembly. Professional installation recommended
  • Emissions: not legal for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled motor vehicles; cannot ship to California (CA orders cancelled and refunded)
  • Free shipping • Made in the USA by Zipper’s Performance

Instant throttle. Real mid-range. Everyday rideable.

The Red Shift® 468 is Zipper’s bolt-in grind developed for factory 107, 114 and 117″ 1st-generation Milwaukee-Eight engines. It complements the M8’s high intake flow and is designed to overcome the restrictive exhaust port for gains in torque and horsepower where you actually ride: strong acceleration below 2,000 RPM, a solid 2,000–4,000 RPM cruise range, and clean pull toward 6,000 RPM — without turning a bagger into a temperamental hot rod.

  • Quicker roll-on for passing
  • Smoother cruising at 2,000–4,000 RPM
  • Stronger acceleration with street manners
  • Quiet operation and long valvetrain life (proprietary Red Shift ramp design)
  • Cranking compression unchanged for easy starting

Works with the factory Touring head pipe (including CAT) and high-flow slip-ons, as well as many aftermarket exhaust systems. Best results with a free-flowing intake/exhaust and a proper tune. Also widely used in SE and aftermarket big-bore builds (124 / 128 / 131, etc.).

What’s Included (Complete Zip Kit)

  • Red Shift® 468 cam (chain drive)
  • Torrington/Koyo® cam bearing
  • Cam-change gasket set
  • High-quality performance lifters (Delphi® USA per Zipper’s current Zip Kit spec)
  • Quickee / quikee adjustable pushrods with EZ-adjust covers — Chrome or Black (your option above)

Quickee pushrods and covers let you install the cam without disassembling the rocker box and give easy access for pushrod adjustment. Not included: tuner, exhaust, intake.

Installation
  • Bolt-in design — no major machining
  • Chain-drive only
  • Quickee pushrods = no rocker-box disassembly
  • Professional installation recommended
  • ECU tuning required after install

🔧 Rider Questions

Do I need a tune?
Yes. Any cam change requires ECU tuning for proper fueling and timing.

Will this hurt everyday rideability?
The 468 is known for street manners first — stronger low-RPM torque and smoother cruising, not a peaky race feel.

Is this really bolt-in?
Yes, for G1 M8 engines with stock valve springs in the applications Zipper’s specifies. Quickee pushrods avoid rocker-box disassembly.

Will it work with my exhaust?
Yes — designed to complement factory Touring pipes with CAT and slip-ons, and many aftermarket systems. Best results with free-flowing exhaust and intake plus a tune.

I have a 2024+ Touring / Helix engine — is this the right kit?
No. For a stock 2024+ Street Glide or Road Glide 117, use Zippers’ Gen 2 Red Shift RS528 Zip Kit. It is not for VVT-equipped CVO 121s. Ask a Rider with your year, model and displacement before ordering.

Still unsure? Ask a Rider with bike/year, displacement, exhaust/intake, and how you ride.
