Default 06 FLHTPI Cam Tensioner

Yes, i know there is a massive thread on this topic. The question i have is regarding the 2006 Police setup.

I've read in a few comments here and there (Not on this page) that the 06 might have a hydrolic tensioners. I also read the giant write up on this forum. Great write up with tons of great info.

Can anyone confirm or deny that the 06 does not or does have hydrolic tensioners. Are the engines the same in the FLHTPI models compared to a standard Harley electra glide with the 88cc?

Just trying to prepare and save up for a SS 510 gear upgrade. My bike currently has 8800 miles. So still a virgin.

Thanks in advance gentleman

You don't "need" gear drive cams. In fact if your crank runout isn't. 003 or less you can't use gear drive. Now you can spend that extra money on other stuff for the bike...awesome right?
