i have a 06 road king that I bought as an insurance rebuilder. got it all fixed and I hear a slight engine noise.....cam chain tensioners are toast and the moron who owned it. (we will call him "just ride it") never did any maintenance on this poor bike. it has 40,000 miles and I am pretty sure its on its factory oil. but........he spent over $2000 on ***** g skull crap all over the bike. priorities!!! I am going to pitch that engine and get another drop in.


so rant over. what years can I interchange with this boat anchor? 2006 88" injected.
can I go a 96" without major drama?


my first Harley experience is going very poorly.

 

1999-2006

 

Could just go this route

That won't do much for a worn out lower end or cam chain tensioners :>(

 

Ok maybe not the lower end. But if you read the description you wil see that it includes.
"Wood Knight Prowler hydraulic cam plate upgrade which includes hyd. cam plate, oil pump, inner/outer cam chains, cam sprockets, tensioners, and all necessary hardware to bring your cam chest to 2012 specs"

 

not rebuilding the motor. its had some huge neglect. I don't think it was beat on just never had any maintenance big investment for something you treat like crap. I would put money on it that the past owner dumped it for the insurance money.


so, next question knowing a 86" is a huge amount of work to swap over. will a carb'd engine work with my fuel injection? no extra sensors or anything?

 

 

Star Racing 126"

I'd be doing some more checking on the engine before I jumped off the cliff and replaced an engine with a "slight noise".
