picked up the cam today, seemed a lot harder than i thought, like i have to remove a lot of stuff to get to the parts needed etc etc. i may have someone else do it for me. but thanx for the tip, i will go to the site and see if i can handle it

got the bike back, got on it today and it is a noticeable difference, it makes 2nd feel like 1st and pulls hard through all the gears. other than a small oil leak from an oil return line, im happy. will be getting that fixed tomorrow

my question now is, what else can i do? im pretty sure im gonna go with a cdi box, proflow kit and some other non performance mods. i was told i will have to re-jet again also. the big bore thing may come in later down the road when i wear out the engine a lil more. what do u think?

You can bore and stroke it, get a port job, get a FCR carb, CDI...the list goes on and on. Just depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

Glad your cam works good for ya. :D
