You got to watch the S&S anodized finishes- they had problems with it in the past coming off & being found in the scavenge cavity/ oil passages. Yes there stuff is pretty...……..But it doesn't perform any better, their oil pump provides no more volume flow than HD`s high performance pump - bench tested a lot of their stuff & compared to HD`s & others - there is no real difference!
If you like pretty stuff then buy it - but its not seen so IMO a waste - Pretty in this case does not provide performance! Don't get me wrong its quality stuff - its just not any better - its just pretty!

Im not aware of any resource with the release of each oil pump version. Im not aware of any new reports of M8 engine sumping, at least on this forum, of a bike built after April 2018, but I could be wrong.
