    Nice equipment, but what's your question?




    by the way, I went back and looked at the few posts you have made before this. Don't start a new thread to answer a previous question. If somebody asks you a question to clarify the problem, use the Post Reply button at the bottom of the last post to enter your answer. By starting a new thread every time, it gets rather fragmented rather quickly.

        Did you go back and read one of the replies in one of your previous posts?

        Depending on how much different the cams are from stock, the clearances might be the same or different. Definitely check with Vance and Hines to be sure. Would also help if you had any other information, like the model of the cams or any identifying marks that might be on the cams. They will be asking those questions unless they only offered one set of cams for that bike.

            Would that be .005 acres?

            Gallons?

            Oh, yeah, I knew you meant inches.

            And for those that measure in metric units, I believe that is 0.14mm.

                The correct valve clearance on the V&H cams is .005 of an inch. Ray.

                      Yeah, but is that your hands or my hands?

                      Smoots are an exact measurement unit.

                      If you look it up in Wikipedia, you can see that even the Harvard Bridge, between Boston and Cambridge, is measured in Smoots.
