Default It has begun...

My cams and D&D exhaust for my Iron showed up this week. With the cylinders and pistons due in early next week I decided it was time to start working on the bike. Tore down the top end today after work and on Monday the heads, throttle body and intake manifolds all go to Baisley for some boring, porting and polishing. Tomorrow at lunch the +2 forward controls will go on so I can decide what (if anything) I am going to do with the bars and/or seat. I am really hoping to get it all back together and tuned up in the next 2 weeks.

sweet! What cams did you go with? and how are they supposed to effect your bike? I'm curious, I was thinking about cams too.
