Yeah a video of how it runs would be great. I've found many recording devices buffer sound and you don't get a good representation of how it truly sounds.

That cam needs at about 10.5-1 compression and a real tune. I' love to see a Dyno run on this setup.

If you want Nasty sound then you will have to wait....This scotter is NOT running at the potential that I think it can

Good job on the cam swap, not as difficult as it would seem. This from a guy that had never done it before either. Fun to do it yourself and learn a little about your bike.
My Andrews 37s have a nice lope to them. Need around 10-1 compression for them, as well. I would like to exploit that by getting the idle rpm lowered as much as possible.

Thanks for the info...Does it automagically resize them? I have some other pics that were taken with a digital camera that are ...WAY.. to big... Will it fix them?. As you can tell I am a mechanic and a rider...Don't know to much about computers.

The experts here, and anyhere else will caution you against lowering your idle speed.. That being said...I want to lower mine also... THEY say that it will lower your oil pressure to much. And lower your recharging of your battery to much... I say...I am willing to acept a little less oil pressure. ( ok 5 psi at idle hot, at 1000 rpm... HOW much less can it be at 850 rpm What 4 psi? I have noticed that my volts drop back to less tan 12.5 whenI'm iding anyway..WTF??? Will it drop to 12.2 and leave me stranded? Sounds like to me Harley needs to upgrde their systems and give us back the potato!!
