Nope. Not me. Can ya buy the same stock cam new? I would think so? Also, I'm not an engine mechanic, but I would think you would want a brand new cam and lifters????? Not a used and just throw it in there? Mating wear surfaces, etc? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please?

The OP's best bet is Omaha's cam... If it is an L ground.. should be stamped on the exhaust lobe closest the bearing end of the cam..

PM me and we'll talk about it.
Omaha has one according to his post but he is on the road right now.
All that is off my 1990 ElectraGlide, and had about 37k on it when I redid the top end, which I did solely for performance reasons. The motor ran fine.
Everything looks to be in excellent shape.
The cover itself should be easy to find. Any from that era will work. Finding the fatboy insert for it is going to be the hard part.

Just did a similar thing on my 85 FXWG, but I used the stock air cleaner cover on the S&S carb. I used the S&S Stealth kit and it works perfect. It has a ehrichener (choke) lever built in.
I have the original cam and carb, but there's no way I would consider reusing them after changing to the EV27 cam and S&S carb. I looks stock though.
