Default Glad I did the SE cam chain tensioner upgrade

So I have my 2004 Road King FLHRI at the dealer getting the cam chain tensioner upgrade, SE 204 cams, SE tuner and dyno tune, and. 14" apes right now. The bike has almost 29k miles on the clock. Still waiting on the bars but the cam chest has been finished.

Here's some pics of the old tensioners. They look pretty bad and the inner tensioner has a corner broken off.

Perfect timing, you got lucky for sure. I was just thinking about your bike the other day and was wondering how it was coming along, I was going to send you an e-mail then I saw this post.

Nope. Hopefully it either got trapped in the filter or it drained out with the old oil.

My inner got gobbled pretty bad and the filter was full of the ground up parts, none was found in oil pan and a few hunks in cam chest.
