Default Cam upgrade

Just pulled the trigger and ordered a cam plate upgrade with woods TW6-6 cams and PV programmer from Fuel Moto today. Hope I made the right decision.

hard to beat the overall results of Woods cams. the tw6-6 will come on a little later than some others, but they rock when they do.

I settled on Andy's 26's for mine.. a little better in the 1800-2500 IMO, but no contest after that...

Most anything is better than the chokers HD had to put to please the EPA.....

I am sure you'll love the build.. enjoy and ride safe..

Seconded here! Anything is better than the stock cams. Those things really do nothing to make the engine exciting.
I also went with the Andrews 26G cams and WOW did it wake up my 88! More low end grunt than it ever had before, and I don't have to worry about the cam chain tensioner pads. A win-win for sure
