Put 26's in 56,000 miles ago. It does what it's supposed to do. Power on command at 2800 rpm making downshifting optional.

About 15,000 miles. That describes my experience too.

I put my 21G's in at 30,000. I now have 70K on the '06. It really changed the low end grunt. I'm very happy, but it wasn't until I added a little more fuel (Cobra PowrPro) that the bike really performed above 65 mph. Here's my dyno: notice how soon the torque comes on and how level it is:

Look at the specs for the Crane 300-2 . Pretty much a composite of the 21 and 26 with a bit more lift.

I did go to there site and compared the 3 cams , and the TW21's still win me over for building the best low end TQ. Thanks

About 20K on my 21's in my RK. Great cam for a heavier bike for everyday riding. Lots of smiles when you hit the thortle. Gets the bike up and moving fast and pulls like a locomotive up the grades. I am more than happy with this cam in a touring bike.
