I have looked into this and not sure it is worth the effort.

Reason - to do it correctly both the inlet and exhaust need to be set correctly. As there is only one camshaft per side then whatever setting you give to the inlet the exhaust will be set predetermined and you have no means of changing it except by valve clearance. (this however should be set first).

If the inlet and exhaust lobes on the camshaft are perfectly ground then it may be possible.

Adjustable cam wheels are available and I do have the info supplied from BMW as to the correct setting for the inlet opening/closing etc for the standard camshafts.

The above is for a '07 1200 GSA not the 1150.
