Good to know THC - about the only thing I am tossing up about is the Cam. Not sure whether to go with the EV-27 or to go with a V Thunder 3010. Both seem to get good reviews, although the EV seems to be the more common one to use.
When I was contemplating what cam to put in I was told that EV-27 by several people.
I have heard several good things about the v thunder but there must be a reason that the EV-27 is the most recommended cam.
I vote 3010 over the 27. I researched both of them and what I remebered was it has similar characteristics of the 27 but with smoother ramps so it's quieter. You can also buy one without a gear and save yourself some cash to put elsewhere on the bike.

Personally I don't find the EV-27 all that loud.
Granted I haven't heard a bike with the v thunder but since I like hearing the motor (lets me know everything is fine) I wouldn't use it.
Interesting points regarding the EV-27 and V Thunder 3010 cams. From what I have read, they are similar in specs, cost about the same and both will provide the added power I am looking for. I can only assume that they are as reliable as one another as well.
If there are any differences, it doesn't sound as though they are significant.

Take a listen here's the 3010 on a bike with 43K miles and the top end was not rebuilt. Just new lifters and cam, old cam gear
Has a nice sound to it, not too loud but definitely a nice rumble. I'll have to listen to an EV-27 as well. I'm also thinking that the pipes will make changes to the sound as well.
Just listened to a 96 with EV-27, S & S Carby and Filter system with V & H Long Shot pipes and it sounded great at least to me anyway. Throaty but not over bearing.
