    I think those are X8's (top-end cams). I'm thinking of switching to the newer midrange cams. for how I ride it'd prob be a much better setup.

    - Some sort of tach/shift light/water temp solution.
    - Cam swap via gen 2 intake cam. Rejet as necessary.
    - Slipper clutch (going to have to hide this one from the wife)
    - Strip down the bike as far as I'm willing to go and do some cleaning.

    '07 zx6r
    - maybe a full exhaust and a PCIII.
    - jumper mod

    Me
    - new leathers
    - new boots
    - spare helmet/gloves if I can swing it.
