Very sharp looking. Are you running those Wood 777s in a 96? If so, how's it run, just curious. I'm about to go with 555s in my 96 (until such time I upgrade to a 107)...
Yes, I am. To be honest, wasn't blown away by the increase in performance. I've since been told by a reputable shop here in Alabama that the 777 is too big of a cam too keep the torque down low in a 96". Upgrading to a 107" would make this cam more usable. Hoping I can do this soon.

Yes, indeed, the 777s are way too big for a stock compression 96. I went with the 555s, which are arguably also a bit big, but Bob Wood assured me for my riding style they'll work great as I ride solo on backroads and love to twist the throttle.
If I'm not happy with the bottom end torque produced by the Triple Nickels, I can either have the heads worked for more compression, or go with the 10.25 to 1 FM 107 Kit. I'm not too concerned.
I'll report back once my Wood 555 cams are installed, I just dropped the bike off.
