    At idle they sound stock. The difference is in the performance. George's cam feels similar to the Power Up cam Honda offered for their XR600. It delivers increased bottom and mid range with a little more rev on top. I also run Up Tite pipes on both of my 510's so that probably plays into the performance gains as well...

    Well its going together with the stock cam for now. lol
    Got the head fitted with new valves and seals, guides were good. Seats were touched up.
    Got a better clutch cover from my spares, the old 1 was wiped out bad.

    love the sound of the twin pipes..i know they are heavier than single and are somewhat pointless but i love the look and sound....im not usually like that on many things and like running whatever works for singles/duals etc..but gotta keep the twins on a 510!
