You can change a cam on your own, I thought no way am I messing with my bike, but after watching that video it’s so easy a caveman could do it

How do you find out when it was built ? I bought mines after that date but have no idea when it was built. I have also been reading about a new oil pump cover that should be installed part #62400206

Look on your frame vin plate will be a four digit number like mine says 10/17, that means Oct 2017, you then can call HD and they can tell you the exact build date. Just give them your vin number.

There's no reason to change the cam plate unless you're having problems. Put that $700 somewhere else.
