    I used the SE plate on an 02 that we had, worked great and the price was good and you get the better oil pump with it, and it comes as a kit

    Bob Woods cam plate with everything is like 365.00 if'n I remember right.
    His cam plate does not run the roller bearings like the 06 and below bikes do,.
    His cam plate runs on Oil like the 07 and up Harleys do.

    Hey There HicDup,

    Got lots of recommendations for Fueling oil pump and cam plates here in So. Cal.

    Does anybody know...Do I need to go back in and replace my inner cam bearings before running it? I already buttoned things up all but the pipes and tank after replacing my busted Fueling oil pump. I did not think about doing the inner cam bearings while I was in there. They were put in just 10,000 miles ago. The outer cam bearings are covered because I replaced my OE cam plate with a Fueling cam plate because the pressure relief valve was stuck in the stock one. Fueling put my cams into their cam plate for me when I sent mine to them to look at along with the broken oil pump. The inner are Torrington 10k miles new when the Andrews cams and S&S gears went in with the original Fueling pump at the time the cylinders were bored out to a 95" and the 10:1 Harley pistons went in 10k miles back. What do think? Run 'em or take it back apart?

    That's not a lot of miles on them....if you're sure no debris from the busted oil pump got in them and the same cams are going back in,you should be OK...Question is though,are you comfortable leaving them in??

    The new Oil pump is much better than the Older Oil pump that HD makes.

    I took a look see at both plates. Thate Fueling plateis not reel cheep at all. By the look of it,the SE plate is best value.

    and a good improvement
    the 06 and up has no bearings (roller or ball) in the plate, just journal bearings
    keep the cams straight, easy to assemble, new chains and tensioners much improved

    True enough the Fueling parts ain't cheap. The folks there are good people though and, good service also has value. They helped me out a lot on the expense by re-manufacturing my oil pump and, when I asked they even came up with a cam plate core and re-maned that for me too. Not tryin' to sell 'em, Just tellin' about my experience.

    Thanks for the good feedback.
    I know I shoulda, I surley coulda, I really woulda... But considering I shut down right when she took 'er Sh*t... and, Considering I already buttoned up and..., I don't have the inner bearing tool in my box... I think I'm gonna flush a quart through with the return line into a coffee can, spin on a new filter, top off, run about 50 miles and change the oil and filter again. then while I'm burnin' off another Dunlop over the next 2500-3000 miles I'll assume no debris damage and hope for the best.
    By the way... 35k on the bike and been through 14 rear tires. The local dealer service manager won't warranty the Dunlop. I told 'em They should get more then 3000 miles and I shouldn't need a new one every time I bought an oil filter. He just smiled and said "F**k you Dave". Dunlop must really love me. $$$
