Cam chest kit
Have a 06 electra Classic efi. High miles. Stage 1 Do fair amount of 2 up. Not very aggressive rider but like to get up and go too
Looking for a cam chest kit or piece one together. Cant decide which cams to go with. Crank run out was within spec but not sure I need to go gear drive
any advice is appreciated

I wish I could tell you with personal experience how nice it is to eliminate the silly need to concern oneself with perishable plastic parts within an engine. I can't due to my runout being an HD acceptable 0.004".......S&S specs are 0.003". Make sure you measure TIR accurately, especially if using test indicators.
I have S&S Easy Start cams......I like them. My Softail cams wouldn't be ideal for your heavy touring needs.
I can't think of a downside of going gear drive. It is the way it should have came from the factory. I'm just a rider that does not do this as a trade so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

.003 is for sure OK in the ballpark AFAIK
I know you can jerry reg a Dial indicator up to get a read-...But I finally bought the tool

- and it only took about 30 seconds to install it rather than a lot of screwing around.
- it gives respectable results and worth the 100 bucks

Ive never done this before to a bike so I wanna get it right. Ill check the run out again or my buddy will before I buy anything.
Feuling has a kit more in my price range. But I keep reading there oil pumps are hit or miss.
So if I cant go kit wise or my runout is to great for gear driven Im thinking Andrews 26 chain cams. Which oil pump is next question ? And go to hydraulic chain tensioners
dont have fhe biggest budget mind you

The Feueling jig I gives repeatable results every time.
I think it was 106 dollars a year ago.

You'll also need the rear chain, cams of your choice, inner cam bearings, and to get the bike tuned.
