From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..
when I added cams I got...
A drop in oil temp. (at least another 15*)
2-4 mpg better on fuel all the time no matter how I ride
A deeper sound exhaust note.
Can now use 6th gear at 60, because with a LOW-MID TQ cam you'll have more TQ at 1800 rpms than you had at 4k (whick is Peak) with the stock cams.
Having them will put a smile on your face every time you nail it.....
I'll add I went with Andrew 26's,, whick are very easy on the engine vs some wilder cams

Before i did all my mods (cams,intake,exhaust, tuner) I was getting about 200 210 on the oil dipstick temp gauge. A Fter the the mods and after adding a fairing (which i think was a big factor in temp) I jumped to 250 + . There is no stop and go riding up here in the high country its all GO. BUt i felt that temp change especially when riding through some of the hotter canyons. So I decided to add a Jagg oil cooler with the thermostat and Bingo it brought me back down to about 210 max on the stick. So i guess it depends on what you do to your bike and if you caused a jump in temp like i did. The cooler was the last thing i did to mine and im glad i did it. It mounted to the engine guard just below the left turn sig, you can just barely see it in the pic.
