I am after some advice on my 2001 Road king. She has just developed a vibration noise on the head of the rear cylinder. Sounds like a loose bolt or something of that nature & is present when the engine is dropping in revs back to idle. I have not noticed it on accleleration & it is not present when the ngine is idling.
Having checked for loose bolts etc i cannot find anything obvious. The motor has 25k on the clock & is due (from what I understand) a set of replacement lifters. CVould this be the cause?
I am relativly new to Harleys & would appreciate any advise in this area.....
