How about the harley cam install kit 17045-99D, that's the one I used. pretty much everything you need bearings and all.
Was there anything else you needed? Also, are those bearings fine or do I need to install some sort of super bearing? I have a thing of assembly line for the cams, and I can run to HD if I need shims for the one gear.

Nothing wrong with the HD bearings; no need for a super bearing. You can also take your old bearings to a bearing house and have them cross them over to a Timken, Nachi or SK. You need the item included in #20. If you want to avoid buying the spacer kit, mock up the install, measure and buy the single spacer that you need to align the sprockets.
Ok, i ordered the bearing and gasket kit from harley. Cams and press tool arrive today. Assembly lube and rock outs arrived yesterday. And 4 degree gear should be later this week. Unless I need a shim, I think I should have everything I need?
I don't think that kit has the lower rocker box gaskets, but you don't have to remove the lower rocker boxes to do what you're doing. Sounds like you are pretty much set.
Excellent. I may start this during the week. If not, it will be Saturday. Now, I need to hunt down a base map for my tuner to use before I can get it on the dyno. Thanks everyone for the help!!
