I am going to be buying a set of cams from steve (fullsac) and was wondering if anyone has instruction for a step by step install. I am sure it comes with the cams but thought I would get a head start and see what all is involved.

  yeah, dial 1 then the number of your local HD dealer or technician, schedule an appointment, bring bike to local shop, and have cams installed as directed.  these are my personal instructions for anything mechanical

Steve at fullsac has already done the homework and alot of us have gone with what he set up. Andrews 54 cams and headcaskets are what I am looking at. I like the fact that I can still use the same pushrods and it seems to be a simple install. I am waiting to hear from him and get this started.

  If you're just doing the cams and nothing else, I'd get some adjustable pushrods and eliminate removing the heads.  Saves you a lot of work for the price of the pushrods.

This is for "Dead Heads."

I just finished doing three bikes this month and I'd never seen the inside of one before. Though I am a ASE certified truck technician. Buy a shop manual first. If you plan on putting cam bearings in get the tools from Georges Garage.com. Start at the top of the engine and work your way down to the cams. Get a set of magnets to hold the lifters up. Other than those tools it's a piece of cake. The first one I did was mine. Took me about 6 to 7 hours. The next one took me about 5 hours, and the last one with two helpers cleaning parts I did in 3.5 hours. That's changing the head gaskets.

this might help you:

This is from what I gathered from Steve at Fullsac's. I asked about adjustable pushrods too. He told me that with the 54 andrews cams you can uses the stock push rods. And if you are changing the head gaskets anyway with .030 gaskets you're already there. Why put a adjustable heavier push rod in and take a chance of something coming loose and trashing your engine. Why put a heavier part in a engine you are looking for performance anyway. Made sense to me.

This is on a pre 07 bike, but pretty much the same.
