Default Cam Sensor

Getting a Feuling cam chain tensioner conversion kit. Problem is, I don't know whether to get part #7088 or #7090. One is for bikes with sensor, one is for bikes without. I have a 2002 FLHRI. Did my bike come from the factory with a sensor? Which kit do I get?

If you had one, there is a wire on the right side coming out of the cam chain cover down at the bottom. Think it was first TC around 99. It was cool since it gave the ECM an error if chain guide shoes were worn. Probably by the time it did, it was too late. Be sure to do it so you upgrade both chains to roller. Not just front one. If you don't, that inner link will still wear shoe. Sometimes even worst depending on oil pressure and rpm.

Probably not with the stock tensioners tho.
