Why you so happy?

You need to check the crank runout. I went gear drive on my 05 a couple of years ago after finding pieces of tensioner material in the oil filter. I had less than 15K miles on it at the time.

I have no regrets and would do it again.

 

The guy is wrong.

 

RKRon gave ya the answer. IF your crank run out is good, NO PROBS. Some ppl think they are a li'l noisy.
BUT not as noisy as when the chain tensioner takes a chit, and then the 'dead silence' as you coast to a stop.

 

2ND THAT, He needs is head examined. Stay away from this individual, he's dangerous !!!!!!!

 

Had mine done at 40,000. No regrets.

 

gear drive cam's are the only way to go. i love them no worry no problem's they are worth every cent.

 

had mine done at 12,000 miles and no problems. i would get it done

 

How much do the stealers charge to install gear driven cams?

 

My 02 Road King has gear drive, and I have no complaints
