So I was debating on installing cams and a big bore kit but wasn't going to do the big bore kit now due to $$$$$$ and short riding season. Well I wanted to inspect my cam chain tensioners and replace the inner cam bearings and I decided to do cams for now since I was there and it was only a few dollars more. Here are some pics of the install.Everything went smooth and what a big difference in torque at 2000 RPM and up, very happy with the power increase.

Andrews 48 cams
Baisley oil psi spring and plunger
Zippers hyd cam chain tensioners
Screaming Eagle quickie install push rods
new cam chains and bearings

09 SG with 26000 and some change and went with Andrews 48s .The cam tensioner pads were worn a bit but I figured I'd upgrade them to the dual piston set up since I was in there.

I wanna do cams, but then I don't. I am afraid of myself, I tend to get carried away with things. I KNOW it will snowball.

And thanks, now I'm worried about my chain tensioners again. Lol
