    What cams do you recomend?

    My project is a 1978 GS750E. I am completely rebuilding the head in semi stock fashion. New valves, guides,springs and seals. Existing cams are out of speck so I have looked at Orient Express, Dynoman, and Megacycle. I will use stock tappets(shim on top). Bike is ridden daily but goes to BUB in August. Has pods,V&H 4to 1, and Dyna 2000 ignition. Leaning toward a close to stock grind. Are there any other options? Has anyone heard of Delta Cams in Tacoma Washington ? They have given me a price of $85/cam to meet factory speck. All others are in the $400 to $500 range. Welcome to any suggestions.
    Thanks

    How about the stock grind and purchase a set of slotted cam sprockets, then you can fine tune your cam.

      I used delta cams for my boat's 351w - not a motorcycle cam, but pleasant and knowledgeable enough to deal with. I talked to Scott and have been very happy with the cam he recommended.

        I agree. Using a degree wheel to place them exactly in factory spec would probably yield the very best results.
