Nice. Compliment from Italy 🇮🇹.

OUTSTANDING! Nice easy job. You make it look so easy, and it is! Thank you for the tips.

Great video👏🏼

Great vid, thanks 🤜

I just checked led mine and they are good. My bike has 63000 kms. But when the time comes I'm deffinately going to buy this kit. I prefer to keep my bike stock. It's a 2004 untra classic

Great video

for those of us without blind puller did you use the scribe to punch a hole in the top of the old shoe? it was obscured

What material is it mode of? Is it the same as the old material?

Hey James, Good video. I would like to see how you installed/loaded the inner tensioner without removing the cams using your notched socket tool. Also, is you blind hole inner cam bearing remover/installer Harley Davidson specific? Thanks, Frank

Tool to remove/install inner tensioner without removing cams: mcspareparts.com/epages/40a0c441-70ce-4cfa-849d-21b25e92ecb2.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/40a0c441-70ce-4cfa-849d-21b25e92ecb2/Products/0914

At the beginning of the video you twice mention that the inferior tensioners do not apply to the 2006 Dyna but later it shows you changing the shoes on a 2006 Dyna and later Twin Cams. I am confused. I have a 2006 Dyna so do I have to check the tensioner shoes?

I bought a set of your cam shoes a while back but lost one of the metal pin/rivet that goes through the shoe. Can I buy a pin/rivet?

Thank you. Question: how do you deal with the push rods....not wanting to replace OEM's with adjustable units?

You’ll have to take the rocker boxes off

did you have to pull the pushrods and the letters to get out the camshaft assembly?

You have to remove the roccker boxes to get the pushrods out or hack it and cut the pushrods for adjustable ones

Good video, thanks. I like when an eight minute video is not turned into a 16 minute video, by someone who keeps repeating themselves.

I will just install the SE update cam plate, with a set of S&S hydraulic tensioners. Also, replace the cam bearings with the updated bearings.

Good video. But incorrect. Proper way is to have pin head at the marked side. If you do this other way, tensioners will scratch cam plate when installed. Ruined my tensioner kit today.

What is the shoe material? Better than oem?

The shoe material is superior to and longer lasting than the OEM material. Thank you.

James Simonelli excessive use? fuck off, using the product you payed for is not abussing it as you are trying to imply to justify this failure in design

He said excessive use....the recommended replacement schedule is set by the manufacture....any use after that is excessive. He didn't say abusive. All parts have a service life, all parts wear, corrode, degrade, etc....nothing lasts forever. Proper maintenance is the key to enjoying "the product" and in this case a Harley....

Thanks Jim. Fact of the matter... it's a shitty design. Under the hood of any car....they employ a rotating idle for the serpentine belt. The primary should have a rotating member as well. Engineering 101

I installed a gear cam kit on my 2001 road king and called it a day.

Sounds like you got lucky and have a crank that's within tolerance. Harley Twin Cam cranks are pressed together and it's not at all uncommon for them to have excess runout. The only way I'd go with gear drives is if I have a welded crank.

How come they didnt make it gear drive? Does anyone make gear drive replacement for this. I want to dump the tensioner chain setup alltogether.

From what I've seen in several videos, you have to be sure the crankshaft runout is not too great or the gear drive solution will not work.

@@CPerreault You are exactly right, which is why I did not switch to gear drive. Just because my crank is in spec for a gear drive now does not mean it will stay within that spec.

Engineering done by Henry Ford himself

would have been good if you could have showed us how you reinstalled the tensioner back in the cam plate without removing the cams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't believe you ground that metal over the engine parts....eeeek! but thanks for the vid.

i would not like that plastic in my engine, i went to gears no more nasty shoes, my crank was in spec ,also they got rid of timken bearings on left side in 2003

If you have to remove the camplate and the whole tensioner spring assembly and everything anyway why the fuck would you just replace the shoe and not replace the whole damn thing spring and all
