Tensioner Shoes
Is your bike carbed or injected. If carb, you might consider a cam and lifter upgrade as well. I make the destination between carb and injection because it's not too crazy to just reject the carb for a bolt in cam job.

Carbed? This is an M8 forum, FYI.
10 K on my 24 Heritage I keep thinking I need to put some better lifters and P rods in it. It’s just a stage 1 but I have some good long trips this summer. I haven’t heard of the lifters failing or the hardening flaking off but I don’t trust that they won’t. Any opinions out there.

I think it’s all just the luck of the draw on these. My stock 2024 RGS 114 had 75000 trouble free miles on it which ran and sounded like new when I traded it in for a new 24 RG 117 and I added an HD Stage 1. At almost 20000 miles a lifter failed with catastrophic engine damage and was replaced. As far as I’m aware they both use the same lifters. Go figure eh?
Howdy,
2017 107 Ultra. it only had 989 (nine hundred eighty nine) miles when I bought it in 2022. It had sat for 5 years. Anyways, I replaced my stock cam chest tensioner at 35K when I did a cam upgrade. Replaced the primary tensioner
( Hayden M6) at 50K. No issues with either so far, but not enough miles to start to be worried yet.
