| i changed the cams in my 06 geezerglide over the holiday. went from tensioners to andrews 26g geardrive. a great improvement, it runs like an 88cu engine should. lots of lowend torque. gonna be great for pulling my trailer.
a big thanks to ringo for his help in this little project. it is not a hard thing to do. actually it is just time consuming. most anybody could do it.....piece of cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............................... .  |

| Geezerglide?  A friend just dropped by and took me out to dinner on his geezerglide. I've never been so comfortable on the back before.
I'm glad it went well, but it's too bad you lost the weekend. If it was as hot down there as it was here, probably not a big loss. |

Glad the job went well, as you said it is fairly simple. More time than anything. Had my bike put on the dyno at school last week. With the SE breather, V&H true duals and the Andrews 26G gear cams I picked up 7hp and 13 foot pounds of torque at the rear wheel. Stock 88 is 58 hp and 70 foot lbs at the rear wheel. I'm now at 65hp and 83 ft. lbs. You will probably pick up a little more. I have the "B" motor and it takes about 3hp to spin the counter-balancers. The low end torque sure makes a difference when your loaded up for a trip.  |
