    Hughs or vape?

    Hey all. I was just wondering if the hughs handbuilt pma and electronic ignition would be a good choice compared to the vape ignition and pma kit. What are your thoughts? Also cutting and re welding the camshaft or grinding and rewelding them up. Opinions? Also, no offence to Hugh. Im just...

    Throttle lagging under 3000

    I have a 78 650 special with mikes commando exhaust, uni foam filters, and VM 34s. When riding it will take a good bit of throttle to get up to about 3000 rpm and then after that it takes off. Would one of those torque inserts be what i need? It also has trouble getting past 5000 rpm any ideas?
