    The cams are back on! Please read full email for info on how to get one
    We had previously announced that we were ending the development on the cams for some of the new water-cooled Triumph models. We always hoped to be able to get the product out to our loyal customers but we were receiving such a huge number of enquiries on a daily basis about the cams that it was hindering us from getting our work done. Without knowing when they would be ready we could only give rough deadlines for their completion which meant frustration all round when these deadlines were missed. As such, we decided to put an official pause to the development until we were sure they were 100% ready.

    After a lot more R&D into the cams we have now got a batch that are fully tested and ready to sell. We have tested them in our own bikes and are extremely pleased with the performance they are putting out. After thorough quality testing there have been no issues caused in any of the bikes.

    The cams are manufactured in the UK and will have a full manufacturer backed warranty. We will also be releasing a video showing how to install the cam.

    This batch of cams will only fit WATER-COOLED 900cc models of the T100, Street Twin & Street Cup manufactured in 2015/2016. It will NOT fit any other models or years. We are going to be making a cam for the later water-cooled models including the Street Scrambler later in the year. We have a camshaft in development now for the 1200cc motors and is in the later stages of testing at the moment. These will be ready later this year, we will be making a big announcement when they are ready. If you are signed up to our mailing list, Facebook or Instagram you will not miss it.

    Our first batch of cams are ready for sale
    The cams are going to be sold for £360 including VAT. They will be sent via next day courier to UK, and courier to the rest of the world at our standard post rates.

    Part of our research has lead us to find that this current batch of cams will only fit bikes with certain VIN numbers. The only bikes they will fit is certain bikes manufactured in 2015/2016.

    The first batch of cams we have is very strictly limited in number. In order for it to be a fair distribution we have decided to sell them in a slightly different way. Please read the following instructions very carefully if you wish to buy one as it will be the ONLY way to get one. Please do not try phoning or emailing separately as we will not be selling them any other way than the below method. Please also read all of the below FAQs.

    They will be sold on a first come first served basis. The way to register your interest will be to respond to the next email that we send out. Do NOT reply to this email about it, this will NOT count for entry. If you are not signed up to our mailing list then please click here to sign up.

    The email will be sent on Tuesday 12th June at 18:00 6pm GMT. This will be automated by our mailing list operator so it may not be at the exact second. Have your VIN number ready and just respond to the email as soon as it arrives with your VIN number, bike model & year. You only need to send your VIN number with the model & year of your bike.

    Again, the only models and years this cam will fit is 2015/2016 water-cooled 900cc T100, Street Twin & Street Cup. Do not bother emailing if you have any other year or model as it will not be entered as the cam will not fit.

    The first responses with valid VIN numbers will receive an email from us about purchasing until we have sold out. If you miss any of the required information your entry will be ignored. We will be organising payment through PayPal invoicing. This means you can pay with PayPal or any major credit/debit card.

    If you receive no response you have been unlucky or your VIN number is not valid for our cam, sorry about this.

    Cams will be limited to 1 per order.

    Good luck with your entry and we will announce via another email when we have another batch ready. This will be how future cams are sold so please watch for our emails. We will not be selling them directly via email or phone enquiries. Please make sure you are on the mailing list if you wish to find out updates about the cams and our other new parts.

    FAQs

    1. With the cam fitted will the bike still comply to Euro 4?

    Yes, we have designed the cam with a small valve overlap and high torque characteristics. This means if it is fitted with no other changes it will comply with Euro 4 emissions.

    2. Will I lose any low revs power or torque?

    No, the cam is designed to retain low revs power and the big difference is after 3750 RPM. It has no drop off in power like the stock cam.

    3. Can I install just the cam without doing anything else to the bike?

    Yes, you will gain around 10 BHP if you install the cam only.

    4. Do I need to remove the cat-converter?

    No, the cat can stay in place and the cam timing will not warm it.

    5. Do I need to remap the bike?

    No, if installing the cam only there is no need to remap the bike.

    6. What other mods can I do to get more power?

    You can:

    Remove the exhaust cat
    Replace the silencers or exhaust system
    Fit a high flow air filter
    Install a performance ECU map
    Install a power commander
    Other tuning devices

    7. When will the other cams be available?

    Around Summer/Autumn 2018. We will be announcing when they are ready so we just ask that you are patient and wait for the announcement.

    I know there's a few of you with TEC issues but I was happy to spend a while with George a couple of weeks back (he was wanting to try some bits on my Bonnie for future accessories) so had a good look at and a chat about the new cams. He managed to get his hands on the accessory cam before Triumph withdrew it (all to do with different world markets and legal implications) so the new one when it comes will be well sorted and is being tested now. The T120 and Thruxton share the same Camshaft the only difference being higher compression pistons, lighter flywheel , improved inlet airflow (larger airbox and filter) and of course different ECU tune on the Thruxton. The dyno chart on the Thruxton with the new cam and without changing exhaust and decat is to say the least impressive as is the 900 version. They've been running this and the now available 900 cam on test with no issues so far.
    I'm certainly looking to get one when available

    Considering I was one of the very first to offer a deposit the first time round you'd think I'd at least get a one of the emails that was promised for Tuesday.

    I'm not too sure I'd be happy supplying anyone with traceable details of my bike especially after declaring it as unmodified to the insurance company :worried:

    My first impressions was it seemed more like a phishing email than genuine.
