Great to see you back at it. Got any updates? What are you shooting for HP/TQ

I went with a new M8. This will be interesting to work on!

engine cases were sent out to cycle-rama on the first week of October, talked to wes and he has been in the process of designing a new cam that will hit harder from the bottom through the mid range and still keep the horse power through out the power band better than the Cr 651 cam. and will be dyno testing it very soon. and if all goes well i will be using it in my 124 build. several of his builds with the 651 cam have done 155-160 squared running a 66mm throttle hog. so if all goes well it should be one badass bagger.

well i had to find something to do while I was waiting for the machine work to get finished. so I removed my fairing and took off the inner panel and prepped it for the paint work. I taped off the four gauge openings wanting to leave them black and painted it amber whiskey and put 3 coats of clear on panel. the gauge openings look great with there white faces with the chrome rings against the black contrasting on to the amber whiskey. Also installed a set of Rock outs into both rocker arm supports.

Nice, I got to ride New Years day, about 100 miles, then a week of hard rain, and went out again yesterday for another 100 miles.

You should be together by March just in time for some good days.

Well the 124" ought to get the job done for sure but are they testing two different cams in your engine or just new designs they came up with ?
