Whatcha think?
Well I'm pretty sure I want to do some engine work and get rid of the chain tensioner. What do you guys think of this set up on ebay and what cam should I get? COMPLETE ANDREWS GEAR DRIVE TWIN CAM KIT HARLEY FEULING - eBay (item 120642474215 end time Dec-02-10 1953 PST) Bike is pretty much stock except for the exhaust , Vance and Hines big radius, no baffles and S & S intelligent spark module and an Airtail suspension. I want usable power not really into doing 200 miles per hour! LOL!!

What are you looking for out of the build?

Sounds and looks killer - what did the tensioners look like when you removed them?

I was lucky, the tensioners were'nt that bad,but did have some pitting. The bike has over 30,000 miles on her so I was worried, now I have piece of mind. I'm going to mess with the idle, bring it up just a tad bit more, otherwise I'll run her about a hundred miles or so and check the plugs. The little bit I did ride, she just want to keep pulling!!! I had a blast doing it!!!!
