Did you do the cams yourself? How did you "re-tune"?

Going to swap cams as my winter project for next winter. Just finished up this winters mods with "bolt-on" goodies and a tour pak.

Your bike looks good. Runs better now I bet huh.

suprised is an understatment. 5 of my buds were all in on it. we all met at my house to go ride (DAD too) dad was the last to show up and was talking trash about "i didnt need to put cams in my bike" BLAH BLAH BLAH... then he fired his bike up... the look on his face was pricless. on the rides he usually hangs out in the back of the pack... not anymore.. betcha he gets a ticket soon...LOL

Did you go through the top, or adjustable lifters? Yeah... a map from FM, seems the way to go. I'll do the same on mine.
