All of my top end noise is gone. I think the Axtel bypass is doing the most but I the whole combination is what got me there.

Did your bike have a constant tick, or did it tick at a certain RPM?

Couldn't you install adjustable pushrods to do the same thing? It would allow you to make adjustments as the valve seat wears or gets carbon build up.

I might have to try the Axtell bypass. The ticking is annoying. I have a Feuling oil pump and cam plate, so I think the Axtell bypass only works with the stock stuff. I'm pretty sure I saved it all.
