But installing cams can be tricky and costly

what can one expect to spend total on parts (excluding cams)?

THANKS



As far as cams. Costly yes, tricky? not at all. I am talking drop in cams that do not require additional work. If you are doing big bore you have your cams out already.

Costs on upgrades?
Well when the BB is on sale $400.00
Cylinder liner install about $180.00
Exhaust anywhere up to about $800.00
Freak kit about $375.00 (IMO a must with BB)
Carbs I can't help since I run stock but the stock carbs work well with jetting and different needles and IMO the gain in HP does not justify the cost and time to fine tune them. Then again this is from the guy that spent $800.00 on cams. My thoughts were that there is so much great info here on stock carb tuning I knew that I can easily get max performance out of them. Last but not least, which I can't help with, is cost of install if you don't do it yourself.

The ride after upgrades? Priceless. If you're a performance freak like I am, it about gives me wood when I ride. hehe.
