You'll be about a dozen or so bolts away from pulling the cams out at that point. Anyways, you'll do fine, you wired your own bars didn't ya? This will be a cake walk compared to that
yes sir i did do my own bars. how would i go about finding this atrain write up for the cams. thanks garcou appreciate your time and effort.

Got the cams swapped and the bike back up on the dyno and gave it a thorough tune. Like the TW-555's, the valvetrain with the SE255's is nice and quiet and the exhaust note is very similar. The SE255's actually performed pretty well overall and ended up about where I expected. While these charts show the differences pretty clearly, I was figuring the SE cams would make a bit better power in the lower RPM's as by 2600 RPM's the Wood's cams have the advantage and make over 10 more peak HP, but on the other hand I also though the SE cams would fall earlier than they did, overall the SE cams did OK in my book. Both cams work very well, it all depends where you want your power and how much of it you are looking for. There is no doubt Bobby Wood did his homework with the TW-555. Here are some charts for your viewing pleasure. 2 sets of cams, same bike, same day

Blue chart is SE255 cams
Red chart is Wood TW-555 cams

James did u replace your lifters when u did your cams. and what did u use to keep the lifters up a magnet. and where can i get this beatty tool from. i found a bearing removel tool and a replacement tool on ebay for a late model twin cam for $121.50. also could u have used a impact gun instead of the cam locking tool. i could buy this stuff but my cams will be here befor the tools and i want to get it done NOW if u know what i mean. great write up thank u very much.
