Default New from WI...cam question

Wanted to say hi and thanks for letting me in the forum. Not sure where to ask this but just changed my twin cam assembly from my 03 fatboy to gear drive. I have the oem parts from it with only 14k miles on them, worth selling them or just scrap it?

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with that gear drive cam. I chose HD's SE 254E cam. Pros and cons whether one went gear or stayed with the chain setup. My input is trash the parts. Cheers.

Trash them, I used to keep the cams we took out of bikes at the shop thinking someday someone would want them. 8 years later they were beginning to pile up in my storage area, I had about 30 sets, never sold one. I gave a bunch of them to a friend to make art/trophies with and scraped the rest...
