Default What else?

I have a $500 HD gift card to spend.
I want to put some cams in.
What other parts will be needed to install?
Do I need any special tools?

Been looking at all of the suggestions for which cams, but don't find what extra items are needed.

The bike is a 15RG with 13000 miles.

I'm going to buy the V&H power duels, already have Monster Ovals, with a decat head pipe, and a FP3.

Thanks

If installing adjustable pushrods you'll save time over pulling rockers. Gaskets, the locking tool for the crank/cam gears, O rings for the pump, bolt set for the gears, an oil change should just about take care of it. You no longer need the tappet block tapered pins.

As for me, I usually retain the stock pushrods. Time isn't an issue so pulling rockers is no bid deal. Actually, that would be a good time to go ahead and install a set of the Rockout lockers from John. Great guy who'll support you all the way. Even if the top end is quiet now it may not stay that way, so why not if you're already there.

Actually I just bought the RockOuts kit, and I will be replacing the seal for that goes to the A/C. I think thats why I'm consuming oil, found oil in the breather.

So I can reuse the stock push rods.
