2014 FLHXS cam upgrade

[Sandwiz]

I have a 2014 Street Glide Special with less then 8000 miles on it.
Bought it Jan. last year with only 2200 miles on it SO its still new!

I am putting a new set of "bolt in" cams in it.

the Question is "Should" I replace the bearings?

I am not inclined to seeing it has so little miles on it BUT I am new to the Harley world so I thought I would ask

Also, I only see one set of bearings for the cams I guess they are the "inner bearings" are there not outer bearings, or are they built onto the Cams?

New inner bearings are not essential but recommended practice. You will need to buy a remover & installer tool and don't put them in backwards. The outer bearings are in the cam plate and should be OK. The SE inner bearings from H-D are fine.

I would recommend replacing with Timkin bearings
