I know they make several different versions of the 5-6 cam.The 6 is close to the 5-6 grind too.They also make that in a few different versions!!
I am not sure what's with all the exclamation points, but its important to be very clear when posting on the forum about cams because not everyone knows what fits what. He is looking for suggestions and may assume that you are an authority on the subject.
What if he just ordered the TW5-6 for $390 at your recommendation and did not know they would not fit?
I know it sounds silly to you, but just throwing out cam numbers to someone that may not know that he would actually have to order the TW5-6-R for $450 and the $510 roller link conversion is important on a forum
I know you are trying to help. The devil is in the details on these kind of things.

Inverse,in no way was i trying to steer the guy wrong.When you order from anywhere You have to tell them what kind of bike it's going in.At that time they will tell you if it fits or not!!! He's doing research which is the right thing to do.He can call Bob Wood himself,who is a wealth of knowlegde & find out what would best for his application.When people give advice you have still do research.Every application is different.It took me 2 yrs to put together my build!!! Hundreds of hours of research to make it right, & not waste any money doing a build 2 or 3 times!!!
guys i wasnt trying to get anybody in a debate or arguement over this just trying to gather intel, all the advice i get i investigate im a procrastinater and like to plan everthing out so im not stuck in my garage with my thumb up my u know what thinking what do i do now...im always looking out for murphys law.
Andrews 21 or 26. I think I'd go with the 21 but either one would work for you.
inverse is also right about the devil being in the details when you order cams. There are several different configurations; one for your stock 88" (will also fit with the SE Hybrid cam plate conversion kit), one to convert the stock 88" to '07 the OEM cam plate conversion and one for the stock 96" setup. Additionally, each cam manufacturer has different designations for those different configurations. For instance, the Andrews 37, a very popular cam, is available as a TW37b ('99-'06 chain drive) 37G ('99-'06 gear drive), 37N (converson for '99-'06 upgrade to '07-'11 chain drive) and 37H ('07-'11 chain drive).
You won't have any problem ordering cams for your applicaiton but the point inverse121 made is a valid one.

Reason: clarification
You are looking for a setup from a 99-01 fuel injected touring bike.
Here is a used one, you would probably want to know how many miles are on it and you will still be taking some chances. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-Ha...item483de5203f
