That S&S video clip is the one I used when I changed mine out. I watched it through to the end first before I turned a wrench on the bike.

It's not a difficult job at all if one is even half reasonable as a shade tree wrench.

Plus 1!

I just did my own cams last weekend using that video and my shop manual. I have all the tools except bearing puller/installer and was able to borrow those. I've got less than $200 parts and labor into it.

Default Indy would be my choice

I'd go shopping for a reputable indy before even considering the dealers. I got a popular guy downtown to install pistons, cams, clutch spring, Stage 1 air cleaner and even picked it up and delivered it without a fingerprint on it for $500 plus $100 for the boring of the jugs. I also got one big shop to quote me just about $1300 because he said for a cam / jug change the motor has to come out of the frame, there's no way around it. I thanked him and went on with my search haha.

I paid close $ 800 last july for my wife's UC at our local HD dealer but like some member mention here around 600 sounds even more reasonable.

Central IL indy quoted me $800 for cam replacement a few months ago. That did not include cam chain tensioners or a tune.
