Gotcha. You'll have to excuse me as I am still not totally in tune with these things called "TWIN CAMS"

Tat ,
I notice that you stay with the chain drive on your builds, I did that too on my build on my 03 Roadking. In my mind I cannot see a real gain in going with the gear drive cams and paying all that extra mondy to do so, when the chain drive is dependable and adequate enough to hold up to the modifications.

Tattoo,
I know that the newer hydraulic plate is much better. Just curious if you have had seen any that have experienced a failure due to one thing or another. I know the pads wear much better but how long do you think those pads will last? I am not one to jump on the gear drive idea either, just curious what your opinions on the durability and longevity or the new pads.
