Hello everyone. I am 60 yo and have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years. Bikes I know, computers;not so much. I want to order a Lancer camshaft for my savage but I am unable to find any up to date address or phone number. Can someone help me with my quest? Thank you in advance for your time. P.S. When I am not riding the savage, I split my time between a 1946 INDIAN, 1965 BMW /2, or a 1969 LAVERDA.

Naw! Naw,, Hayull NO dont help him get ahold of Lancer! Not till he gives us PICTURES of all them bikes he has,, Duse has an Indian! Shazzam! & a Laverda? HOE Lee COW!!  I dunno anything about that particular Beemer, but, considering its stable mates, Im guessin its some kinda special old bike, too..

Hey, man, welcome to the crowd, I put the Stage 1 cam in mine, I Didnt ( & regret it) Run any time trials stock, I should have. If I had it all to do over, Id woulda timed it, bone stock, then done the exhaust & jets & then  timing runs then the cam, & more timing runs.

A stop watch & a road thats straight, do standing starts to a given mph
or, standing start to a given MPH, just see whats There, if youre passing a certain post just when ya hit 60, bone stock, you do the exhaust & jets, go back, nail it & hit 60 40 feet before ya get to that post,, well,, ya gained..

I wish I woulda done it more scientifically,,

But, I DID get to see Ol' Bull the other nite,, The guy I sold it to was over at his moms & he took it down the street, workin it pretty hard,,& it moved his Big Self, ( Im guessin at least 6'4" & hes gotta be close to 300 pounds,, hes a big dude,, ) & it looked to be accelerating real well,,
Stage 1, Supertrapp exhaust.,,.BUT, again, If I had it to do over, Id go with the Dyna, just as good on performance, I think,, certainly close enough AND they look a lot better, $20.00 vs. $400.00? Yea,, Dyna,,


ETA
JUst a seat O the pants report,, &, did I feel what I WANTed to feel?

The exhaust & jets made a solid, noticeable change, Then, just based on Feel, the cam made , IM gonna say, about 70 to 80 of the same change the exhaust & jets did, If youre wanting to wring everything out it has to give, then there is a fatter piston that can be found, sometimes, & a slickemup cylinder treatment, Serowbot knows about that, & of course, for the best acceleration, put that thing on a diet,, & theres a lumpier cam than the Stage 1.

I can see that computer stuff is a bit of a challenge.....as I had provided you a direct link to the page.

Just click on the reddish text....and it will take you to Lancers page.

Then if you go over to the left side of the page, you can click your mouse on "LANCER" and another page will open...and you can find Lancers email.

OR........I will send you a Personal Message with Lancer's email address.

PS.  I am 58.....not that far behind you.  I have to work at the computer on my office desk just about all dang day, and I have found out what a lot of the buttons do!

Actually, I should be 61, but I was sick a year.

DUDE!!! Thats hilarious!@ sorry you were sick, but man,m, thats funny,,

Thanks for saying I am going to fit in with all you guys. Is there any "get together" for savage owners? I always go to Mid-Ohio Vintage Days since I am in Ohio. I also go to the Wauseon AMCA meet every year. Usually ride the old Indian to AMCA meets, but it needs a few things done to it this  winter before it is good to go. And since it takes me an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes anymore, I don't know if it will be ready or not. Riding the suzuki "thumper" somewhere to meet others sounds like fun.

It takes you an hour & half to watch "60 minutes"? Dude,, youre slowin down, allrite,,I remember when it only took me 15 or 20 minutes to watch that show.. I can still get it done in under 70,,so, Ive slowed down, but not as much as you,, Ill tell ya one thing tho.. I can eat a "Quarter POunder" & dig a third of a pound out from between my teeth now.

Yep.....Plenty of them in the "Bike Build" thread.

I built my Cafe' bike using some RYCA parts, and some of my own.  I really like it and it is a blast to ride - not so good for long endurance rides or packing camping gear.
