The '06 Dyna has the newer '07 setup. All other pre -'06 touring models have the the old style tensioners as pictured below on my '06 'Lectraglide. The second pic is Andrews repacement Kit Installation Kit: Conversion Cams: '99-'06 Engines to '06-'07 Roller Chains

which also had 2 tensioners,

Bad wording on my part...I was refering to the chains in the kit. Not the chains as they are stock.

It never hurts to look.This is my '07 front tensioner at 24000kms. Also replaced gerotors and spring. There was some scoring on the sides and gears were not even close to .080 proud of pump.

What special tools would one need to install the HD kit? Also, can someone provide part #'s for the adjustable push rods and any gaskets needed to do this upgrade.
Thanks
