To me, there is no comparison between anything made by S&S and HD. S&S wins EVERY time. I've installed a lot of S&S parts not one failure and the fit and finish is excellent. Also, if you call over to Viola WI, they answer the phone! There's a reason they've made it over 50 years in the business.
Thanks guys. I believe my new setup will be the S&S cam plate and oil pump, red shift dual piston chain tensioners, Reaper 525 conversion cams along with the needed parts to run the roller chains.

Awesome, you will be very happy I have no doubt.
Thanks Bill03E, I cant wait to get it all installed and hit the streets next year with a little extra grunt. That will be the last of the major mods for this bike. Just a few little things and it's on to the next build.
I just did my parts list for this upgrade including new Torrington cam bearings, the roller chain sprockets, chains, shims, red shift chain tensioners, Reaper 525 cams, S&S TC3 cam plate and oil pump, S&S Quickee push rods, S&S tappets and came up with a total of $1,714.55. Now I have to decide if I want to tackle this myself or take it to a garage for the labor as well. The piece of mind should be well worth it to know the motor will be solid for a long time now. I have slightly over 28k miles on it at the moment and may not get much more.
