Thumbs up

i put an Ultima 113 in my FXR 2.5 years ago have just done 30,000km on it without any engine trouble at all , broke it in as per the manual and went to Mobil 1 V-Twin after break in and oil/filter changes every 5000km there after
i decided to change out the lifters & pushrods at 30,000km due to the big cam in the motor and found 2 lifter that had rollers with play in them so i am glad i got them before they broke
i went to Harley lifters and Riveria Primo Taperlite pushrods
this motor has so much power the biggest problem is the rear tire doesn't last as long as before

@NZBERNIE, good choice on the lifters, great choice on the pushrods we love them. Sometimes people forget that in a stock HD the lifters last about 40,000 miles. Now add a high lift cam and better springs and they still want to get 40,000 out of them. "It ain't gonna happen". The lifters and bearing are still the same design with the basically the same design flaws.
