Getting new cams
Nice. I had the Andrew 26 installed. I wanted to go with gear drive and the upgraded cam chain tensioners but the Shop manager talked me out of it...they really asked allot of question about my riding style and what I was expecting in performance which I thought was great. This was a local Chopper Shop, not the Dealer. He told me from what I told jim about my riding style that the Andrews 26 would do me fine. He told me that gear drive cams are good if you where into racing and what not, and he said with gear cams they in no forgiveness like a chain drive, So I ended up just with the new cams, SE adjustable push rods and stock can show tensioners. When I go to the big bore next year I might upgrade with the new SE cam plate and oil pump and the hydraulic cams chain tensioners. Good luck with your upgrade.

Now we have the winter I can't not enjoy the mod I did in Oct. I am really impressed by the package, Andrews cam 48H, 95" big bore, head work and Power Vision. The changes of the numbers (+50% hp, +40% tq) on paper and on the road are making me very happy.
