What kind of $$ am I looking at to purchase and have a cam installed on a 06 Ultra?

RE: Cam install
Gear drive cams eliminate the chain that stretches, wears, and allows the actual cam timing to wander a bit. Gear drives, while they may make a little noise, do not wear, the cam timing is always the same, and they actually add a tad of power just in making up for frictional loss and sloppy timing. The gear unit costs a bit more, but some think it is worth the extra cost.

RE: Cam install
I don't know exactly what Andrews did, but the newer S&S gear drives are way better & don't make much noise at all.
nogood, you forgot to mention about the tensioner shoes wearing & the possibility of the cam chains getting loose & wreaking havoc inside the cam chest. No doubt that gear drive is the better option for me, less to worry about = more peace of mind. To each his own.
