Being realatively new to the world of Harley I can't tell how much I've learned here but....
Have a 07 Ultra, nice ride ran a little hot. Found several things here that have helped, SE breather with K & N filter, PCV, and SE pipes.
Bike sounds better, runs cooler. Now would like a little more power. Seems from my hours of reading posts cams may be a way to go.
I have done all the work on my bike so far. Have some common sense good selection of tools.
Is it possible with limited knowledge to replace cams on my own and any ideas where to find mor detailed info to help.
Thanks for any help!!

 

There is a lot of info to be found here on the forum. With the service manual, a reasonable set of tools and the ability to tell one end of a wrench from the other, you should be able to do it yourself. I don't wrench for a living but I've managed to do both of my bikes and bikes for a couple of friends. Just a word of warning, doing this kind of stuff gets addicting real quick.

 

You can do it if you have a good mechanical ability. I bought a couple hundred dollars worth of special tools cause I hate borrowing, but it can be done at home easily.Cams will give you a nice bump in torque and HP.

My dad and I are doing cams and gear drive on his 01. We've got it all apart, just waiting to get the new parts. It isn't that hard to do. Take your time, get a manual and don't get into a hurry.

 

A little off topic.. but running hot is the way the dealers set bikes up.. It's some kind of EPA bull ****.

 

+1 , im not a wrench either but it was extremely easy to replace the cams on my EGC..

 

there is no reason you cannot do it your self. you will need a cam bearing install and removal tool. i just bought one as i am about to tackle the same job. i highly recommend the Wood TW6-6 cam...

I had the same trepidation as you feel now, but did the job last March and all went very well and cost only $285, including cams, inner-bearing tool, gaskets, etc. The other tools you'll need should be covered by any moderately well-equipped home garage. I also did a write-up, but Atrain68's is better.

Pick your cams carefully based on your riding style and other hardware, as the wrong one may make you less satisfied than you were before. BTW, you'll need a map upgrade for your PCV, but I can help you with that since I also have an '07.

 

Here is another good write up for cams installation. Also lists tool and parts that may be helpful. I just put some 204's in mine this past week. I used this site and service manual for installation. Rent the blind hole bearing puller from autozone. Does the job and it's free after you return it. Take your time, when using the service manual you'll be using different sections of it thru out the job. Mark your pages with a sticky note or something. Have fun.
