I just acquired a set of stock cams and would like to have them hard welded and reground. (for performance) Anybody know who can do this?

 

webcams come to mind.

 

Yes, Webcams can do it, there is also another co. too, but I am drawing a blank at the moment, will get back as soon as I remember....

 

BTW – in the past on project bikes I have installed H.C. pistons. Is this necessary or recommended on the hawk? I have read that the lower end can only handle so much and I certainly don’t care to build a time bomb. Also what type of HP # should I expect? Thanks

 

Megacycle does this also.

 

That's exactly why I haven't done cams, yet (I have JE pistons). I've heard/read the crank will only handle 130, but I'm not sure how accurate that is or remember where i heard it. I would think this would vary with how you're making the additional power and your tune.

 

From what I have read from experienced tuners, you shouldn't have any problems with Stage 1 cams and hc pistons (like J.E.). It's when you start to get into Stage 2 cams and the like that you may run into problems.

 

i think roger at revolution racing said around 140 hp is max.
without bracing swingarm area.

of course without the hrc ign. module,we wont approach those figures
i believe.

 

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That sounds about right. I know a local tuner that used to build a superhawk racebike for a customer and said that it used to keep breaking cranks and was @130.
