The S&S cam plate and oil pump look badass, as usual S&S knocks it out of the park with most everything they touch. I don't really see what the argument is here, man buys some quality parts for his sled and then he get's **** for it on a Harley forum no less.
You go to the dealer and you buy an HD, it's a blank slate worthy of only one thing, swapping out their Chinese/Japanese/India BS for a quality machined parts. The suspension on these bikes are an embarrassment, the bearings are junk, the paint is **** and the electronics / NAV systems are on par with flip phone technology. It's been this way for decades, this is nothing new so why even criticize? Never owned a bike without an SS carb, neither did most anyone who ever rode a shovel or an evo. I did have an SU carb on a shovel for about a year then I ripped it off or maybe I kicked it off (I forget that night altogether now) but this is how it's been and how it will remain.
Every design idea HD ever got since the Pan wasn't some brilliant brainstorm, it was a copy from someone who swapped out parts and modified the bikes to look cool. HD simply took that idea, made a similar platform and put their stamp on it. I give credit where credit is due. They've managed to come out with good motors and frame designs but they all needed tweaking.
As for Heatwave - You got 2ea. CVO's ($40k+?) you're on your 3rd motor for a "stage 4" then you always come in talk about " voiding the warranty". Let me tell you something, you got lucky pal, you know it, so does everyone else here. "Both my CVO's are inexpensive compared to my boat" What in the trailer trash, satellite dish hookup, flip phone using, no toilet paper so I had to use my hand, 5 teeth missing, chew dip packing, tin can tweaker searching, cat food eating, dog food chompin, yee yee yelling kind of **** is that?
Trust me, your money has gone to your head, get over yourself.

. Lmao.....I thought the CVO chainer was entertaining for a while....but like a yippe dog biting at your ankles they get a bit boring and have NO value on a forum. I have only put 2 people on ignore here since 2013. What too funny but at least I don't see his jibberish anymore.
I will say he is famous at dealerships.........hope he don't break down up north he'll be waiting a very very very long time. Lmao!!
BACK TOO the S&S pumps and plates both are doing very well.
SORRY MAX DIDNT MEAN TO CAPTURE YOUR HANDLE...OPPS.

That'll break em.. Not sure you can blame anodize on gerotor braking but that crap is pretty abrasive. Proper assembly and they should be OK.. Main thing I see about Fueling pumps is the feed side clearance is too high. IMO nothing wrong with stock of a TC. Now some M8s could use a little help. SnS did it right.
yes sir. The one I showed was just that...a bad install. But the screaming chicken one we use in twinks can't hold a candle to the S&S plates and pumps. Mobil 1(customer choice not mine) in a worn out twink hot holds 22-26 lbs oil pressure at idle and holds steady at 40 in upper ranges. Never have had a fueling do that....but again I am no pro on v twin stuff .
I only showed the twink cam plate as 2 dealer techs blamed it on anodizing. Lol. Just wasn't remotely the case.
no more twink part pictures I promise!!! Lol
OP thanks for this post. Sorry so many are jumping you, I am like you, screw MOCO repairs. If I can keep my ride on the road for $620, that's cheap. No MOCO bandaide repairs and nothing else trashed in the process.
TH
. Lol. I can handle it.....I don't normally even bother with touring forums most times...but there are a few hands on guys like yourself here doing are own work ..and the M8 is pretty new platform to ripe into..... 620 bucks ( 2 hours work)and haven't missed a day riding since I picked this bike up in May.......over 7000 miles already.
Well out to the shop,to play with my 140 EVO bagger...

So you reply to a post from me while saying I'm on your Ignore list??? Pretty funny. Some people aren't just satisfied with letting people "think" they are jackasses, they have to go out of there way to prove it! As with most guys that are clueless, you know nothing of any dealer I've purchased from or had service work done with. Good luck with that sumper of yours! Let's see how fast you prove how bright you are again by hitting "reply" to another post from someone on your so-called "Ignore List". Lmao! Time to double-down on proving that some bulbs are dim straight out of the box.
I doubt you will ever see that oil pump gerotor, the assclown posts a TC cam plate, flames a HD tech for improper install & then starts a war with people who crap more knowledge than he will ever have! what a meatwhislte!

Hey Heatwave so old "humped so dumb" put us on ignore then busts on someones ability to afford the very bike he wishes he could have, godbless ya brother - we have one shot on this rock (I think) - get what you can & enjoy it, Im starting to think the OP did that install himself & just wants to cast blame for his own stupidity - oh well to each their own, Ive been ignored as have you......oh my what to do!
