A question for anyone who is using the Andrews 54 cam. What are your impressions of this cam and does it produce any valve train clatter? Also is it a bolt-in or is spring spacing required?
I just installed them with a big bore kit. No increase in valve train noise over the Andrews 26, and I stuck with the stock beehives that they started using on the '07 and up models.
As far as impressions, I only have 100 miles on the build, so I haven't really gotten much past 1/2 throttle yet, but it is pulling hard so far. I had to take my tach off for the detachable fairing, but I'd guess it is coming on the cam around 2200-2400-ish based on my memory of speed/rpm combinations.
