The spring loaded tensioners were last used in the '06 models with the exception of the Dyna which had the upgraded cam plate/tensioners.

You can upgrade your '05 two ways.

1. The SE Hybrid conversion PN 25284-11 which will allow the use of your OEM type cams; see the attachment.
2. The full conversion to the OEM cam plate and hardware which will require the use of conversion cams.

3. The conversion to the upgraded billet plate PN 25282-11 but you will also need the conversion cams and the rest of the hardware, i.e., tensioners, roller chains, spacers, etc. listed in the Andrews list.

I know of several bikes that got there cam chest from 07 & 08 bikes and have several thousand miles on them.I was wondering if a 09 cam chest would work,I know all about the overpriced -11 kit this would seem like a cost effective way that some of us low income riders could do.

Any later model OEM cam plate will work, you just need all the hardware and conversion cams.
