  I found them at Super Bright LED's. Part number and web sight is shown in this pic.  The bulb I choose has 4 perimeter LED's and 1 forward facing LED.  The cam chest work took me forever, I would not say it was easy.  I needed to borrow a few specialty tools to get the project done. I did a lot of research here on this sight and along with the service manual and instructions from some after market vendors and good friends I got her done.  I had to go into the chest a couple of times due to over looking a few steps.  For example I'll finish my thread here and you'll see what I'm talking about.

  One step forward three steps back!  Back in again.

  Decided to remove the LMR spring I installed.  It didn't help quite the valve train and felt the extra oil pressure was just to high for my comfort.

[Big C.]

  Went back to the stock spring and made sure the end coil lined up properly with the roll pin and also installed the roll pin split facing away from the spring.

  I felt with the addition of the SE High Volume Oil Pump it would generate enough oil pressure and volume on its own.  Again this is just my personal opinion.

  I also forgot to make sure the cam gears were level/plumb.  I think this how to describe this.  You need to make sure with a straight edge that it touches both cam gears.  I forgot to do this the first go around.  Good thing I doubled checked because I did need to change the rear cam shim from the supplied .130 to a .140 to achieve this. Shims are shown below on the cam plate.  Basically it's a washer that sits over the end of the cams to space out the cam gears.

  I almost didn't do this step.  Was afraid of what I was going to find. I checked the crank run out.  The crank run out was just under 5 thousands.  It could of been a lot worse I guess considering the new factory allowable spec is now 12 thousands!!!  After learning this I decided to not use the oil pump install guide pins I used the first time and rather let it float into it's natural position on the crank in hope to prolong the oil pump life.

  Also changed the jam nuts on my SE tapered Adj. pushrods to a high quality grade 8 nuts due to the original nuts have been known to split!

  My quality control expert approved.

  And of course I had to add a little OCD touch.  Billet Chrome Pushrod tubes.  They don't show to well in this pic but it was a nice finishing touch.

[Big C.]

  That's all I got guys. I'm done till next winter and she off the lift and all back together.  Time to ride!

[Big C.]

 Done and ready to roll.

  Oh Grandpa, I didn't forget ya heres a pic showing me on the bike for your handle bar project.  Again these are the 12" OEM Monkey Bars and I'm 6"3 with a 32" inseam.  Bars are perfect for me my arms are just under straight out.  Very comfortable for all day riding.  Good luck with your mods.

Very nice job. Hope it works out well for you. Had to order the leds.

  Once I get this beast out of the garage and into the sunlight I post up a few more pics of the finished results.  Thanks again for all the help from the members on this sight and a good friend that watched over my shoulder and steered me back on course when I needed guidance.  Hope this thread will give members some info and ideas for their Mods, oh and I'm not responsible for the money that might vanish out of your wallet after reading this thread.  
                                                                              Thanks again everyone,
