First Ride After cam Swap

Well today I am going for a long ride. This will be the first major ride after I swapped the cams out. I am crossing my fingers that all goes well. Wish me luck!

Good luck...

Well I made it back. All is good!

Ain't wind therapy great. I took the old low glide out and it made it back too!!!

Yes. Now just needs a retune. This bike runs good but as of now feels the same as what my 557's did, until I am at 60. I will drop the hammer and that bike is gone.

Glad your back on the ironhorse..

I thinks this bike runs good. Hot Rider can feel the difference as well.

Good for you both! For me, it's the wind roaring at high velocities against my face and up my nose, nostrils acting as venturi, funneling the rushing air straight to my brain!

Sometimes all that rush of wind makes ya fart so the gas milage does I crease do to the push forward .lmfao

With these cams, there is no need. Lol. I did the hard 2nd gear roll like you suggested, I like!

It's just knowing how to get on the power band and how the cam works.once you know we're it's at out goes the gas mileage. Lol

Put the other pipe on you will find it comes on even more .that cam likes that pipe also .

I will make that a winter project. Close to the end of the riding season so I will just leave it be for now. Also this winter I will swirh air cleaner backing plates and filter assembly.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I notice a big difference in starting the bike as well. Pops off a lot faster and crisper. I attribute that to more cylinder pressure. I like it.

Sounds good, Johnny. More compression, more power, less gas milage LOL. I bet it's well worth the trade-off.

Funny you mentioned that 3 weeks age a friend of mine who has a big metric bike says 30 mph 5th gear he says NOW and we go to 3rd and roll the throttle hard well he could'nt keep up.It felt good and gave me a chance to see how my bike runs..

My previous cams were Red Shift 557's.These cams are similar to the S&S 570g's that I just put in, however for a higher overall lift cam, the 570g to me seem to be less noisy.

These cams run hard boys. I like them a lot. Last night I swapped out tge air cleaner backing plate to an SE backing plate courtesy of BaggerPaul. I really hated the one that was on. The SE set up is way cleaner.

Here are a couple of pictures.
