Travel Light!


What am I forgettin besides the obvious shit..tent, sleeping bag, clothes....First time I have packed for a 2 1/2 week trip.

wrenches
leatherman
duct tape
electrical tape
safety wire
zip ties
flashlight
20' of wire
torx bits
other basic tools
map
chapstick
sunscreen
large plastic bags
nylon cord
tarp
phone charger
camera

Gotta pack light but I know I am forgetting some basic shit?

Less Cam, Same Power!


Went from a Woods .630" to a Zippers .567". The cams have almost identical timing though, so its no big surprise the powerband is simular. Low-end feels a little softer, probably due to less compression. I think the heads are flowing a touch better but didnt have time to test them.


On late model sportsters torque your pinion nut to 70ft/lbs and use green loctite. I think this is what caused my problems, because stock tq spec is 35-40 ft/lbs. This allowed the pinion gear to spin on the shaft.

Finally!


I've been checking the mailbox like a 5 year old waiting for birthday money. Plus I started my bike before I left work, think I've got that hot mess all sorted out. On the dyno it goes tomorrow!!!
