Default TW 222 this Tuesday

Finally got the bike over to the Indy for the cam swap.

Got the TW 2222 cams going in, and zippers performance cam shoe tensioners.
Fueling lifters, figured it would be best to start fresh there on those.
PV from FM - ought to be the just what the DR. Ordered!
Indy will shim the factory oil spring so pressure will be a wee better at idle.

I regret having to put the bike away for winter storage over at the dealer after the new goodies are installed, would like to get a few weeks time to ride it.

Will report in Spring on how it runs.



Wildone 515 would be the thing to do over the Winter.... Needs the cash for it tho.

This might be a dumb question, but how do you SHIM the factory oil spring??
I will either be doing cams or the Fuel moto 107 in the spring and sounds like something I should be doing as well. I am not a fan of the low oil pressure at idle.

Good question.
My Indy said he does that, provides slight increase in tension of the spring I guess?

I did not have to get a Baisley oil pump spring, which I was thinking about.
I had thought about a Feuling oil pump.
