Well after 2 years of thinking about it and reading about it, I finally decided that the only way I would rest in peace is to give it a try. I had found a pair of speed triple cams at a decent price but allways resisted the temptation. It is over now, I gave in.

I installed the cams and they fit like a glove. Since the valves lift is higher, I checked everything to make sure the valves would not it the piston and everything is nice in there.

The next step will be to close everything and bring the bike for a dyno run. I have a dyno run of the bike before the changes so I will see with my eyes what will be the difference. I expect that I will have to rejet but that will be after the dyno run.

The dyno run puts teh bike at 77.7 hp at the wheel and 50.6 (ft-lbs)

My target is to reach 90 with the cams and the jetting. Only time will tell.

Gratulations.

I used Sprint ones but think all the "green" are same.

(110 dall'orto - solex with half airbox or 130 with conefilters)

Jetting info are welcome...
