Getting ready to install new cams, SE plate, and SE oil pump. Should I replace the bearings? The bike only has about 7500 miles. Been running with Mobil 1 full synthetic oil. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Yes is the answer.

 

Not hard to do once your in there..Personally, I always do the torrington cam bearings when doing a cam swap. Only takes a few more minutes for a better bearing

 

I would suggest you replace the bearings with Torrington/Timken. I believe the SE Cam bearing are Timken's.

The downside of replacing the bearings is these require special tools to pull and replace. They can be purchased online at a fairly reasonable price.

Absolutely change the bearings.
These are what you want.

 

Yes. Good move while cams being done.

 

That's what I used. When you look at these and then look at the ones Harley installed you will be glad you swapped them out!

 

I always have...

 

While your in there, why not....

 

Yes the SE's are torringtons.
The cam gasket kit from HD comes with stock inners and the last set of bearings that I got in the kit, one of them was missing a roller.
