Took it in Saturday, found a great Indy, will need new tensioners. Going to save up and go with the gear drive system and new cams

Next time just bring it by my house and I'll do it for $950 but you have to bring your own gasket....

While you are in there don't forget to ditch the bearngs for torrington ones. Did you guy measure the runout on your crank?

Do some research on the new style tensioner conversions.
Less risk of problems related to gear drive, and a quieter ride too.

LOL, no the tensioners are actually pretty worn. He actually took me to the bike and showed me the damage and answered all my stupid questions. I will be going with the gear drive system.
