Default Andrews cam conversion kit

Has anyone tried this kit by Andrews that converts the 06 and earlier TC88 cams to the new 07-09 style TC96 cams? Got SE cams in my 05 FLHT and love them, just hate to have to replace the tensioners every 20,000. Don't wanna have have gear driven, too much noise.

eg:

Since I'm in the process of upgrading the cams in my '07 Ultra with 26,000 mi. I would highly recommend the new chain/tensioner system!

Contact John (Herko-Bagger) here:

He offers the conversion kits; and his service and pricing are excellent! He'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Good luck!

I have one of each (gear drive and roller chain conversion). I used the the same Andrews cam profile for each, and I hear no difference in noise levels.

So at 26,000 miles, those new style chain tensioners weren't showing wear? Changed my 05 ones at 22,500 and they did have some minor wear. Just wondering if they have indeed fixed the problem in 07. Thanx.

I just converted my '07 FXST over to gears. Had 10K on the tensioners, and VERY little wear.
