I reached out to Fuel Moto to see if I could be put on a waiting list for it. They replied that they haven't heard anything about it but to keep an eye on the S&S web site. I hate waiting......

S&S knows there is something way fubar with this motor and they are dotting the T's and crossing there I's before they release the pump and plate. Mine started rattling more today on the way home. It's like the Yugo of Motorcycles. I knew better than to buy another damn Harley. A lead slug is worth more than this POS.

Do you even ride your bike or does it set naked on a trailer all the time?

I have a feeling that we are going to be doing case mods to fix this. Their pump may work great... not sure if it’ll be a bandaid or if it’s the true fix. I'm hoping that the T2 124 will be “adjusted” for a direct swap.

my bike is a non-HD stage 2. So far, no sumping issues, but that could change next week. I’m taking it to the mountains for a week. Dragon, Cherohala, Moonshiner 28, ect. I plan on going to S&S ‘s pump/plate regardless. My first M8 was a 17 CVO Street Glide with the H-D stage 3. It slumped at 3800 miles. Right after I returned from last year’s CVO “meet in the middle” event.

Funny how the drunk low IQ idiots at HD now have the adjustable rockers available. Just kind of snuck those in,,, but not really cackling chicken parts or oem parts. HD really lied there ***'s off concerning the M8's,,, no doubt about it. Slipper clutch,,, yeah right,, million miles of development sure,,, Not even on over clocked water cooled work stations and server's on crank did they put anything close to a million miles of development and engineering into the M8. New suspension thats still early 1980's class junk hung on a 1960's frame. I still can't trust my junker to take off and go to Lubbock or New Iberia to hang out with Texigans or Cajuns. Well maybe if the wife and I road with a HOG Chapter at 57 mph blocking traffic all the way. I guess I could trailer my King behind my near useless HD Edition F-150 and listen to it's cams rattle in the crappy 5.4L junk Ford mill. At Least the super charger would go weeee weeee. And look cool doing it,,, Weeeee Weeeee.
