What a process to figure it all out and intersting to learn that a little O-ring can make such a significant issue. Kudos to the members here helping out and picking up on it from that fuzzy pic. Looking forward to hearing about the end results after it's all buttoned up.
Here are my 4 brand new, shiny, gloss black pushrod sleeves (3rd set) and keepers (2nd set), all just special ordered from S&S across the border from me. I'll be in the garage scratching the living **** out of them in the next couple of hours.
Finished everything up this morning and took it out for a shake down and it RIPS!!! Aggressive start and it lifts on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd!
Took it out with the wife (her on her '22 FXBBS) for about a hundred miles today. Beautiful weather and the bike is finally feeling dialed in. With the suspension tuning, cast rims, chain drive and the cam it's pretty perfect right now. Lots of power and the bike just wants to go! Bonus, no leaks or weeping anywhere AND the dreaded Thunderheader install went the best it ever has. The tip I got about setting the front header first, then swinging it up and into the rear is a life saver and it actually bolts up the way it should!
I don't have a new filter laying around so the oil change will have to wait till this coming week and then I plan on doing some auto-tune on top of FuelMoto's work. Maybe I'll even take it back for another dyno pull? Very much looking forward to it!
Thanks very much again to @Max Headflow and his keen eye for spotting that O-ring!
