Sweet.
My brother, afriend and myself all had these cams from Chris back in the day. It required a lot of mods to the heads, but it would sure rev and FLY. I had it in my '78 R100RS and did a little racing with it in the midwest. Sure was fun. Great to see the old Rollerball.

Chris has added some more to the Advrider thread, he found a few pics of the roller lifters installed.
 More tech as well. If the walls in that old San Jose Post Office could talk, the stories would be fantastic.
