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.

yes i did the cams myself. i wrench ALL my stuff. it is truly an easy job. just follow the book and you will be good. atrain has an excellent write up here on the forum. the tune as of right now is the base map that Feulmoto provided for the TW6-6 (thnx to Keith and other members) this weekend or next will be a true dyno tune.

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.

ADJ pushrods from andrews (chromoly) i would like to see a set of the Fuelmoto pushrods. i'm pretty confident that the quality is just as good or better.
