Default Stupid Cam Question

Another 203 vs 204 Q . . . Sorry.

I have the 203s. Do the 204's have that same nice little bark
when you let the throttle off (Shifting etc)

Sounds crazy. I know the 204s pull a little harder. I really do like the sound when I shift. It's loud, like blown out glass packs.

The 204's have a little more exhaust duration to give it the lumpy idle some guys like. Also helps them pull a little farther in the RPM range.
They'll probably 'bark' a little louder.

It's a Thunderheader. it's not as loud as other scooter's
I've heard with em. Nice sound though. I LOVE IT!

Considering a 95" conv late this yr.
Thought the 204's might give it more oomph.
I need to chk my tens shoes regardless.
I plan on the taller gear as well (34T) so it
runs down the road a little better.

Thanks for the input

Here's a clip of it idling if anyone is curious
about the 203 idle.
