Valve train noise ??
Harley shop put a 110 kit in my 2010 fatbob last year. It ran great. I thought I heard more pronounced valve train noise last fall. Maybe it was me.
This winter I installed redshift cams, dual hyd cam chain tendioners, adjustable pushrods. Installation I had no issues. CO VH Big radius duals to the 2:1 propipe. Uploaded new program to TMax. All good. Just riding in city now and the valve train noise just sounds a bit too loud. Anyone see this or is it just me with a larger bore engine. It performs very well

What lifters? Maybe just a tad more preload will quiet things down. Having said that, it's an air cooled, pushord, vtwin motor and you are sitting on it; it's going to make some noise.

I remember 3 1/4 turns on rods and waited for bleed down which took a few minutes. I had it idling last night by a stage 1 96 cubic inch. His was a bit quieter for sure. Last fall it seemed more pronounced.

I have attachment from zippers performance for the Redshift specs for pushrod adjustment. I had new hyd lifters 527 cam, everything new.
The adjustment wet is bottom out lifters and loosen off pushrod 4 flats. That is what I did and valve train noise much better.
