Looks like they are moving out of Littleton and staying in Sturgis, if you read their web site.
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

   Brian...have you given any thought to the possibility of having a larger base circle set of cams re-ground down to the size your wanting?
I can't remember off the top of my head who told me they could have this done to cams...but maybe they will chime in. If I re-call...the price to have it done wasn't too awfully bad.
  I've got a couple sets of gear drive cams that would make good donors for a re-grind.

I think chains also started being used to meet EPA sound emissions requirements. It wasn't just exhaust being measured, but motor noise as well. Also the reason for such enclosed stock air filters, we don't want that pesky intake noise intruding on our peace and quiet.
Now, back to cams.

ask if it's because of their haircut

Thanks Ray, but I'm not at that point yet. Still thinking about building a 110", or maybe I should renew the 117" top end, and de-tune that motor for cruising. Less compression, and cams with more low and mid-range. The DH lower end having 40k on it doesn't concern me a bit. That would leave me with the 96" as a spare motor.
