i got a cyco kit off ebay with shoes, tool and gaskets for $80. i am also going through the top as i have a leaky rocker box i need to fix. i will add new bearings and have some other costs as well, but i know it will be cheaper than having someone else do it for me. i have 46k on mine now, so for a few hundred bucks, if i can get another 46k i will be more than pleased.

I guess you want to go the hydraulic tensioners and the oil pump upgrade? If so, Andrews has the kit for $520.06, #288902. I think I would go with the Harley kit because it has a billet cam plate and an SE oil pump for about the same money. Andrews does have a good selection of conversion cams. Wood is now offering the TW-555 in conversion cams and it is a bolt in for the 2005 & 06 models.

If you type your title into advanced search you get a small number of relevant threads, including this one, with numbers and other discussion. Great time to upgrade your cams!
