Thanks I love these bars. I bet it would be worth it. I gotta wait till the wife starts working in AUG and we just moved and bought house, so the bike got pushed to the back of the priority list. I was going to do it this winter, but just couldn't come up with the funds right now. But it's high up on the wish list for sure. I was able to at least take care of an exhaust, PCV and AC this winter, so cams is definitely next.

Actually not to impressed with the sound at idle or reving it up. Now down the road its a sweet sound. Now a set of big shot staggards would be sweet. I think I would give up some tourqe for that sound. Post a vid when your done!

My SG 103 goes in for install Tuesday and I can't wait!!
Have the Woods TW6-6 in my FatBob and Jamie says the 555 are an updated version that come on a touch sooner and stay on a touch later... Getting morning wood in the afternoon just thinkin about it haha.
Crappy thing is I have to drop bike off Monday am at dealer then leave for work and won't be back until Thurs night so gonna drive me nuts knowing they're done and ready to rip and I'm nowhere near the bike..

Are these the cams that go with the gear drive, eliminating the cam tensioners?

Get on that bad boy out of the hole and watch for a first & second gear get burnout! My heavy SG smokes the pavement with the 555's!

Agreed on the 555s! In conjunction with 103" kit, 2-into-1 exhaust...it's like a new bike...a new Kick *** bike, that is
