[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 186142, member: 98"] hmmm this is saying 84-85 have 20degree overlap...and 86 on was cut to 10 degrees overlap ...like the earlier oldwing4s....as i said before im thinking with cv carbs the 20 degree overlap would cause more spit and sputter than 10 degree overlap..provoking the change back to 10 degree overlap ...but this is just opinion ....i remember working with Vs 1200 standard at the time hooch was just put together and running also ....i noticed the low end torque was not near as good as hooch at all ..at the time i was still trying to get the stock carbs to work on hooch...but at idle speed and slightly above hooch would throw rocks out back idling up the steep driveway...the 84 standard witch ran well spit and sputtered like most wings did that went up the steep driveway.....so im not thinking it adds low end torque if that bike had the 20degree overlap cam ..when i say Vs standard ran well it did ..i think it still runs great yrs later and is a great example of a nice running 1200 standard ....i ran it up close to 90mph once and it acted like it could do that all day long ...
