Thumbs up TW222 cams in a month

Pulled the trigger on the TW222 cams.
Will be getting PowerVision with handlebar mount as well.

Will be getting the TW 222 cams installed the first week of November, bummer that it is late in the year, my Indy is booked out all the way until then.

While talking to my Indy about the project, he showed me the Zippers Performance- Red Shift® Dual Piston Cam Chain Tensioners, which will go in the work he is doing with the cam install package, and he will be putting in Feuling lifters.
I ran Feuling lifters in my last build with no issues. Also, he said he'd put a shim under the oil spring to give the pressure a nudge, mostly so oil pressure at idle will not be so low.
Also, I will be using Fuelmoto cam kit that includes the Torrington cam bearings, which is a plus.

I will post a video after all is done, if it is not to freaking cold to do so.

Check out zippers performance see new performance parts, cam chain tensioner.
My Indy does great work and recommended the zippers cam chain tensioners, the zippers web page describes benefits pretty well.

At any rate, a small bit of improving on what OEM could do..... I figure might as well while the job is being done.

Cheers,

Mark
