TC Cam Chain upgrade
I have come to the conclusion that the new-to-me 2003 FXSTB with 18k miles need to have the roller cam-chain upgrade. I have read everything that I can find on the process but I remain confused about the upgrade options.
On the one hand is the SE parts collection, while on the other hand is the Andrews kit. It seems to me that there is something different about the bearing sizes used, between these manufacturers.
I gather that both require new cams and I have reduced the choices to the Andrews #37 cam or the SE 204 cam, but I am left with uncertainty about which manufacturer to go with.
Help!

roller chain conversions!" Andrews requires the use of one of their "N" series cams with their Conversion camshaft kits.

Then why does the Andrews kit require their special "N" series cams, rather than just the post '07 TC cams?

Avoid the after market mix and match chit. Stop by a good dealer and have a talk with shop manager.
All these fancy named after market parts ever notice they are the ones always having trouble with their bikes and don't have many miles on them.
Do the hd upgrade, if you want to change it up a bit some SE cams that fit your needs bolt right in.
