I have a 96 wide glide, with 26,000 miles
Is there anything that should be checked as far as lifter adjustments
Sometimes i hear a rattling noise

You can start by posting a pic, I love the look of the EVO.

Your best bet is to get a service manual, and go from there

Do you have stock lifters and pushrods? If so, there is no adjustment. Thats the best part about having a Harley. If you have adjustable pushrods and hydraulic lifters, still no reason to adjust unless you do a cam change (unless your lock nuts weren't tight). Lots of things to rattle on a rubbermount evo. Where does it sound like its coming from?

Cheers bud, I've got about the same miles on mine. If your motors never been into, I would'nt worry about a little tapping. Your gona want to be changing out your cam bearing, and lifters soon though!
