[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 140360, member: 2938"] I can provide dimensions if you want to manufacture the old 1100 kit but I've previously stated why it has little to no advantage and plenty of disadvantages. To drill/tap into the 1200 cam (which has a pilot hole already from Honda) I would personally make a jig to hold the drill bit, and use a depth stop. If you destroy the cam that's on you :) It does not take much time to pull the cam, and for many people, is a great time to change that timing belt they've always "wanted" to do. Maybe we'll find someone willing to make a video of a cam swap? As for endorsement of our product by this forum, don't think it came easily. Dan, Joe, and several others have challenged me extensively during the past two years via phone, email, PM, and personally at Joe's Meet & Greet. First Joe slaps the thing on a radically modified bike and asks me to set timing crazy high. Dan designed the first 1200 kit for testing with virtually NO input from me "Hey Paul...guess what I did?" Now Slabghost is installing our Gen 3 & Gen 4 on two different bikes...I am sure he will give it a proper flogging as well. I appreciate the support and feel I owe it back to the forum to continue pushing forward with more Goldwing products. As for Joe's suggestion on cam drilling, who runs the throttle and who holds the drill bit? :popcorn: [/QUOTE]
