Default Ready for the 37G cams - but whose got the best price?

Anyone have any info on these, looking for the best deal on a complete kit. I have seen some on ebay for $639... just wondering if there's a better deal.

Anyone deal with Direct Cycle Parts? Looks like they are the lowest I have found, so far.

I found my complete kit on Ebay (Andrews 26 gear drives,) 4 years ago but dealt directly with the store. North Shore MotorCycles up in New York. Good prices.

That seems like a deal, but wait for replies on DCP.

The gears without the cam will bring the cost higher than if included with the cams in a kit.....(and the bearings, the gasket, etc.)

I think RockerB is right...

$224 CAMS
$204 GEAR DRIVE KIT
$36 INSTALLATION KIT, GASKET/BEARINGS
Total $464

Provided that is all I need, I am saving about $136.

You're missing the inner gears in your calculation. (The inner gears are pressed onto your cams.)

You need 4 total for the installation.

Is your bike ready for the 37s? They like higher compression and porting to do their thing at higher RPMs. 21s and 26s are good for stock and 95" engines. Have you thought about replacing the inner cam bearings while the cams are out?
