Cam chest mods
I am getting ready to install new cams in my 02 FLTR and will have to do some clearance work on the bearing boss. Does anybody have pictures of how much they had to grind out?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well, I got the die grinder out this afternoon. All I need to do it get the modeling clay and make sure I have enough clearance. I hope I have enough time between commitments tomorrow to get the cam chest buttoned up. I'm planning on making a first ride on Sunday.

Did you have to grind much or just check? Been needing to do this myself just been to lazy...but the time is about up on needing to at least check the adjustors. Did you go with gear drive or stay with the shoes?

I ground quite a bit for clearance on both the front and rear intake lobe. I had clearance on the front lobe, but just barely. After the first time I ground the rear, I had clearance but wanted more.
All in all, it went pretty quickly. I bought some el cheapo burrs from Harbor freight and I had some sanding rolls. The dye grinder made short work of it. The thing that took the longest was taping everything off. It was so cold that the tape didn't want to stick. I had to heat the tape up over the heater to get it to stick at all.
