New style cam chain tensioner in a 2001 ?

[Torxhead]

I'm looking to upgrade to the new cam plate, pump, chains and tensioners. Looking at the Andrews part lists, it says I have to use their 34 tooth sprocket with a trigger ring? on 99 through 2001 models. What do I use if I go with SE 204 cams? Will all stock parts from a 2007 and newer work in my 2001 softtail? TIA

You can't use the new style cams, they use a larger diameter inner bearing. You have to use Andrews "N" series conversion cams or send the cams you want to use out to a reputable machinist who can turn down the inner bearing race on your cams and then heat treat/harden them again. Woods can do this, don't know who else I'd trust though. Your 01 is a bit different from the later bikes, they don't use the trigger ring, Delphi systems get all the timing information from the crank trigger.
