DIY Cam Change

Ok im getting ready to do a cam swap on my 2007 street glide and i just wanna make sure I have all of my bases covered and not forget anything. I have the cams, pushrods, cam install kit, and all of the top end gaskits. Am I forgetting anything i just dont wanna have it apart and find out I need somthing else. Thanks for the help

Why the top end gaskets?
I would use adjustable push rods instead.

I would get the easy installs. If you do not then get a quick disconnect for the gas tank. It will be a PITA if you do nto take the tank off. Easy intall is nice.

Can you not return them? If not take a little hit and seel them on e-bay and get EZ installs.

Tom from http://harleygoodies.com/ here. Definitely get teh EZ installs for simplicity of getting it back together. They are not much more. That is what I am doing for mine.
