Just curious...anyone know if these are available for my 2000 EG with the SE hybrid cam plate upgrade and stage 1? I like that power more in the lower RPM range that's being discussed, but I've got the 88.

Look into a big bore kit for the bike, if you have a cheap Indy or can wrench the stuff yourself not much more than the cams and necessary stuff needed to install the cams, and the bb kit will come with cams.......

I just put SE 204 cams in my bike with the hyd tensioner upgrade kit, the SE 204's sound bad *** to me, better then the 222 in my opinion, the SE 204 has a duration of 236 intake and 240 exhaust, the 222 has 228 duration both sides, the SE 204 also has more overlap so it will have a better sounding idle, both are good cams but what I was told by a couple different indys the SE 204 cam is a great cam that is under rated.

Can't get over the idea of winter storage. I remember moving to northern Nevada from Yuma Arizona and thinking I had arrived in the Arctic Circle. That first winter it snowed by late October and I was crushed. My scooter sat in my dinning room (storage) for a few weeks and I realized, the snow, when it falls, will not last long and if I could get used to riding in sub 40 degree weather (funny now) I could still ride all year round.

When I think of actually wintering the bike In a place like a commercial building (dealership or not) where I would not have instant access to my beloved scoot at a moments notice, I shutter.

I hope you're reunited soon.

I'll let you know next week. I'm going to pull my 222 and put a set of 555 in with .030 headgaskets. I decided on the 222's and I like them but I want more of a mid range cam. The 222's just got flat IMO

or call them, for they will have a few questions about your riding style, etc, and get you dialed in.

Yes they will because they have a duration of 228 on both sides, the SE 204 and the TW 222 are very close except the SE 204's have a 236/240 duration and will pull longer.
