Cams & Shocks.
« on: June 28, 2015, 11:33:01 AM »
Hello CVO group....
I am the proud owner of a 2005 CVO  :cherry: ! Just a couple of questions. I know the stock shocks on my cherry are 12" . Can I put on 111/2" 440 progressive shocks off a 2012 FLHR ? Also I am getting the HD  Cam plate tensioner upgrade kit  # 25284-11 installed  plus S&S ajustable push rods, at that time I am thinking about putting a Cam in . I like the SE 204/255 and the S & S 551. Upgrade to gear driven cams ? Or leave chain driven ?
Thanks .................... :2vrolijk_21:

You may want to take a look/search some of the threads in the topic specific boards to your inquiry... Twin Cam for cam choices, and
Wheels/Tires/Suspension/Brakes for suspension information.

You may also want to go to this board New Member Introduction and introduce yourself to the site.

Jim put gear drive in my seeg 60000 miles ago. No worries but it makes a little noise now.

Stay with the chain.


On a later bike definitely stay with the chain.  The all too common eccentricity of the crankshaft all but demands it.  His is a 2005 though.  That is a pre-crap vintage for the crank issues.  Gear drive is a legitimate option on this one.  Still want to measure the crank.  But if it's good to begin with the gear drive is worth consideration.
