Okay, so one final question on this - I live in Up State New York, about an 1 1/2 south of Rochester. Can anyone from around the area (or any where) recommend a "Good, Reliable, Knowledgeable and Reputable " place to get this work done?
One other (dumb) question - how long should it take to do the work mentioned - the Cam, Carb and Ignition? Is this a day job or might it take longer? Also, once this work is done, should I have the bike Dyna tuned at the same time or is that part and parcel of the work to be done?
And, on that note - what are the benefits of having the bike Dyna Tuned - is it worth the money do you think?
Once again, sorry for the very mechanically naive questions and thanks for the help and advice.

He is in New Jersey somewhere but it can't be all that far from you.

Thanks mate, having a member doing the work is even better. NJ isn't that far, probably a 5 hour ride, but if the work gets done and done properly, who cares!
I'll look him up, thanks again.

If you're upstate I think hillside is close to you, probably hours closer than Johnjzjz is. I don't think you can go wrong either way. Look up the comp cams vthunder cams as well. Think they are worth looking into

Hillside was mentioned in another thread I left for my area; however, the only Hillside I found (Google) was a used car dealership about an hour away from me in Thurston/Campbell.
Is that the Hillside you guys mean? If so, I'll take a ride and go and talk to them.

where are you upstate? He's out by Utica I believe? Upstate you can't be too far. NJ is a haul from there.

Thanks mate, I'll get hold of them tomorrow - appreciate it a lot.
Darn - when I said I was about an hour from Utica, I was thinking of Ithaca ... no big deal, a nice ride up that way as you said.

Hi Wombat...I have a 1996 Roadking...stock ignition but have a VThunder 3000 cam, 42mm Mikuni Carb and V&H pipes the difference from a stock bike is like night and day...it pulls like a freight train...no down shifting to pass and now cruises happily all day at 80 mph and passes 100+ mph easy
Good luck dude
