Just did the Andrews 21-n conversion on my 06 fatboy. Once I got my efi program dialed in -- low end acceleration is unreal.
I made up a complete parts list for the conversion cams if interested

Stock 88 heads won't take the lift of the 54. 21 or 26 is a better choice unless ya are doing the heads and going 95.

I spoke with the tech at Andrews and he said the lift wouldnt be a problem in my 05 because the change the springs in 05. I did forget to mention that I am anticipating on going up to the S&S 97" next winter. That being the reasoning behind the 54's , just not sure how it will run this yr with that much cam? The tech also sugested the 37's Mike. He said they were designed for the dyna but people are very happy with them in there baggers.

Holy cow. For once I don't feel like an idiot!!! JK. Actually when I talked to Andrews they suggested the 26 but glad I went with the 37. It's nice having a knowledgeable Indy who steered me in the right direction. My only question is why a 37 with a Dyna and not a touring bike. Bigger bike=bigger cam IMO. IDK....
