Did the SE Hydrolic tensioner upgrade, while it was down went with 204 Cams, new lifters, 95" bore w/SE flat tops and .30 head gaskets. Left the heads stock with just a valve freshening. Bike has 28,000 miles and is not rode hard at all but it does get 50% two up but mostly under 70mph cruising. Did the big bore upgrade just for more bottom pulling power and am quite satisfied with the results.

Here are the stock parts. Tensioners looked good for 28K, but look at the inner cam bearing journal. This looks like failure on a silver platter.

Opinions please:

Wow, nice job and just in time. Did you do the work yourself or did the dealer? I would like to do that to my 01 Eglide, I too have 28K on the clock. How much did it cost?

Dealer, Winter build special.

 

So, you feel allot more power and pull? Think it was worth the money?

 

I have 27,000 on my '06. My dealer advertises $1,400 to install the new SE hydraulic tensioner kit. That is parts and labor, obviously. Anyone care to share whether that's a fair price to the kit and installation? Sounds like a lot of $$$.

 

I paid 1100 for hydraulic camplate, 555 cams, oil pump, adjustable luxuries, and gaskets with bearings from fuel moto. Installed myself.

 

$2,499.00 for 95" bored cylinders to match SE flat tops, SE rings, head gaskets, freshen the valves, 204 cams Torrington inner cam bearings, new lifters, all the labor, gaskets, SEPRT w/4 hours dyno time.

Night and Day difference from stock to now. Pulls hard off idle to 5,200 where the TQ/HP lines cross.

 

my 01 electraglide classic has 32040 on odometer my mechanic checked them about thousand mile back and said the would need to be change when i got back from the mountains. well took it to him last week for rear tire ,primary tensioner and cam tensioners well he took it apart and call asking why i wanted cam tensioner done. well i must have got my bike mixed up with another bike said the look like new.i said don't change them really did not have the money to spend. he could have took me for some cash.but he don't run a shop like that.

 

My dealer does the kit for $1275 - having that done and doing the 204 cam while it's open.
