Cam Chain Tensioner

I guess if you take the SE you'll have to buy parts and options to complete it anyway, and that will reach the amount of the Herko + options (i didn't checked).

But my question about the cam gear locking tool was, is it a way to avoid buying the both tools and proceed without it to lock the gear ?

I would buy the one to lock the new sprockets. For the old ones that you are not gonna use anymore, see what I did in my pictorial:

Hmmm. If you are not gonna do the up-grade immediately, I would suggest putting new spring-loaded tensioners in. Those look about 50% worn, and that is the threshold where they should be changed.

i'm gonna do the upgrade. While saying "next state/step" i mean before closing the cam cover :D

You're right TQ, thank you for the reminder.

You are buying / they are selling you way to much? Some of those parts are overlaps ? You shouldn't need engine overhaul kit and cam service kit? Unless you are ordering so you have on hand? My first suggestion is to buy a parts manual for your bike. Sometimes the kids that work the parts counter don't know a gasket from a sending unit screw? I know. I ordered one and got the other? LOL Also get the service manual. That is of course if you are gonig to do your own work? Still doesn't hurt to know what the dealer is doing either? You need a new sidestand spring? Rear belt and sprockets (should) be good for quite a while yet. My friend did 120,000 Kilometers with his belt and we changed it so we dont' have to worry on long trips. After removing still looked to be in great shape? So buy what you really need? My advice only. !!!:D

I loved the idea of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" :)
Below is the list of the parts needed for the replacements that the HD mechanic told me... (I know that there are some recurring parts because of the already existing parts in KITs)

They cost about 1100-1500$
The service will cost me about 1000$ more. :(
2500$ for a 30k Miles service...
Oh my god I can't belive it...

I think I'm gonna replace;
* Oil
* Tranny oil
* Cam chains (not quite sure if I should replace them)
* Cam tensioners
* Fuel filter
* Oil filter

and will not touch the rest until a problem or an abnormal sound arises :)

Does that sound meaningful to you guys?

For your year bike you have three options all of which require you to remove the camplate. The first is to inspect and with the milage you stated replace the adjusters. The second is to buy the SE replacement camplate w/oil pump which lists for about $425 or replace the chains with a gear drive unit. I just replaced the adjusters on my 07 FLHTC with 30,000 miles and the ware was minimual. In my opion this was do to the fact that I have run nothing but synsthic oil since the 1,000 mile service. Either way you go it will cost you money and a lot of money if you cannot or do not want to do the work. On my 07 the only special tools I used (not required but they make it much easier) was the cam/crank locking tool and maginic lifter holders. Both of these can be purchased from Harley for about $55 (for both). Don't wast your money on the wire devices that hold the adjusters, a small wire or allen wrench works just fine.
