Default lifters swapped out

I finally got around to swapping out those infamous lifters on my 2015 Breakout. Also did a cam swap while in there along with cam bearings and SE clutch diaphragm spring.
Andrews 48h cam, S&S premium lifters and adjustable pushrods.
Jamie @ FuelMoto sent me a new tune for the PowerVision.
All in all it wasn't too difficult for a first timer but having previously adjusted lifters on Chevys I knew I could do this.

Wtf? Can I at least get a frekin' thumbs up? Tbh, just the satisfaction of working on my own scoot is good nuff.
I Have never taken it to the dealer for squat since it was new.

Two thumbs up! With a manual and YouTube, I can’t see giving a dealer money.

2 thumbs up from me to, that’s inspiring, I’m planning on doing a cam swap on my twin cam and I’m trying to figure out if I can do this myself. I am a mechanical guy but not a whole bunch on internel engine stuff
