Cam chain tensioners replaced!

Done my tensioners today and it wasn't as bad of a job as I thought it would have been. Got the upgraded inner bearings too. 2001 FLHTC 26k miles.

Looks like the same wear my friends 2002 Heritage had when I changed his last year. I just replaced with the stock shoes upgraded the bearings, lifters and cams while I had it apart. It's an easy job if you watch a few videos, read a few articles and take your time.

Proper tools and watched all of videos on YouTube, repeatedly. So much that it was like I had been doing it for years.
When I actually got into it, it wasn't a big deal. Only issue now is dialing in the carb to get rid of the carb cough.
