As Borat would say "Great Success".....I pulled off the snap in cover on the pushrod, readjusted the o ring, snaped the cover back in place and went for a spin. Soft 02 you were correct, had a hard time getting that grin off my face. What an improvement.......

The grin may not go away, as mine hasn't 2½ years after the install. Great cams for baggers with stock engines. You'll need a new map for the PCV to optimize its performance. Did you buy the PCV from Fuel Moto?

My only problem now is the weather is turning and there will be very limited riding and smiling. As for the PCV no I did not go the fuel moto route. I know I am going to get some backlash and reflections on my intelligence for what I am about to say but I have done all the mods on my bike myself and cannot see spending money at the dealer for someone to almost blow up my bike with a dyno. I am not the guy who needs to see numbers to know that my bike is running good. I am ok with 96% efficiency. My intent when I purchased my bike was to be able to install and adjust my mods myself. I know there will be a time when I will need the professional and I am not saying that a dyno is not a good thing for some if you want to have the meanest bike on the street but that is not my intent. Just my honest opinion.

I'm of the same persuasion and don't like the grind of a dyno tune, but as you also suggested I don't expect everyone to feel the same way. Thus, if "backlash and reflections on [our] intelligence" are forthcoming I've got my riot gear on. Extracting every tenth of a HP isn't a big priority with me, and like you I know when the bike is running well. I monitor Lambda values on the fly and know where I want AFRs to be running. I just PM'd you with a suggestion.
