Cam Installation Kit (17045-99C) - This has all gaskets, o-rings, etc. for the job including gaskets for rocker covers. $79 MSRP, $65 at Zanotti's including shipping. Chicago HD was about $1 cheaper but Zanotti's had them in stock.
Torrington B-168 inner-cam bearings (2) - More robust than stock at about $5 each. Purchased at local bearing shop.
Cam bearing tools (http://harleytechtalk.net/htt/index.php?topic=47.0) - This is the cheapest removal/install tool kit that I could find and are getting good reviews from users. $96 including shipping, Paypal charge, and insurance. He has kits for Evos, early TC, and late TC.
As Dawg suggested I'm keeping the stock pushrods this time. I don't plan on removing the tank but will instead disconnect the fuel line on the left side, remove the front and rear tank bolts, pull the tank up 1-2", then block it. That keeps you from hassling with the crossover tube. The rocker covers on FLH TC's pull out from the side and are not difficult to remove.

Not bad. My dealer quoted me six hours, which is $450 for labor. I could do it in 3-4 and I'll be going very slowly, and will be doing my cam job myself next week for $285 that includes cams, install kit, and bearing removal tools.

Is this tool necessary?

My impression of the meaning of "bolt in" means that the lift of the cams like the andrews 26 do not require different valves springs set up to be installed so they do not bind and that ignition and fuel delivery was something different.

I was going to leave the bike stock, except the Fuel Moto Stage 1 upgrades, but the new PCV-AT allows me to tune the bike without a dyno, making a cam upgrade a no-brainer for tuning.
