The dealer maybe talking about the new cam support plate with the hyd cam chain tensioners. I 'm sure most cam makers have cams that will work with this support plate. It's also my understanding that the cams don't ride in bearings just parent material. I could be wrong.

the new cam plate kit is pretty nice, you get an updated oil pump too. Personally, I would run the gear drive cams myself. They are not really all that loud. Cycle-rama's custom grind cams are available to the public now. I would use their cams over any other.

No need to go gear drive.

Buy an Andrews "N-Series" conversion cam in one of their great grinds:

I wouldn't touch gear drives without a trued and welded crank. The chains are more forgiving on tolerances.
